Before revision: The uniform sampling of convex polytopes is an interesting computational problem with many applications , in particular in the field of metabolic network analysis , but the performances of sampling algorithms can be affected by high condition numbers in real instances .
After revision: The uniform sampling of convex polytopes is an interesting computational problem with many applications , in particular in the field of metabolic network analysis , but the performances of sampling algorithms can be affected by ill-conditioning. This is the case of inferring the feasible steady states in models of metabolic networks, since they can show heterogeneous timescales .
