+        Return a polyhedron from two sequences of linear expressions: equalities
+        is a list of expressions equal to 0, and inequalities is a list of
+        expressions greater or equal to 0. For example, the polyhedron
+        0 <= x <= 2, 0 <= y <= 2 can be constructed with:
+
+        >>> x, y = symbols('x y')
+        >>> square1 = Polyhedron([], [x, 2 - x, y, 2 - y])
+        >>> square1
+        And(0 <= x, x <= 2, 0 <= y, y <= 2)
+
+        It may be easier to use comparison operators LinExpr.__lt__(),
+        LinExpr.__le__(), LinExpr.__ge__(), LinExpr.__gt__(), or functions Lt(),
+        Le(), Eq(), Ge() and Gt(), using one of the following instructions:
+
+        >>> x, y = symbols('x y')
+        >>> square1 = (0 <= x) & (x <= 2) & (0 <= y) & (y <= 2)
+        >>> square1 = Le(0, x, 2) & Le(0, y, 2)
+
+        It is also possible to build a polyhedron from a string.
+
+        >>> square1 = Polyhedron('0 <= x <= 2, 0 <= y <= 2')
+
+        Finally, a polyhedron can be constructed from a GeometricObject
+        instance, calling the GeometricObject.aspolyedron() method. This way, it
+        is possible to compute the polyhedral hull of a Domain instance, i.e.,
+        the convex hull of two polyhedra:
+
+        >>> square1 = Polyhedron('0 <= x <= 2, 0 <= y <= 2')
+        >>> square2 = Polyhedron('1 <= x <= 3, 1 <= y <= 3')
+        >>> Polyhedron(square1 | square2)
