The goal is to find the largest Euclidean ball (i.e. its center and radius) that lies in a polyhedron described by affine inequalites in this fashion: $P = \{x : a_i'*x \leq b_i, i=1,\ldots,m \}$ where $x \in \mathbb{R}^2$.

Generate the input data
a1 = [2; 1];
a2 = [2; -1];
a3 = [-1; 2];
a4 = [-1; -2];
b = ones(4, 1);
Create and solve the model
r = Variable(1)
x_c = Variable(2)
p = maximize(r)
p.constraints += a1' * x_c + r * norm(a1, 2) <= b[1];
p.constraints += a2' * x_c + r * norm(a2, 2) <= b[2];
p.constraints += a3' * x_c + r * norm(a3, 2) <= b[3];
p.constraints += a4' * x_c + r * norm(a4, 2) <= b[4];
