First some definitions:
A polyhedron $P$ is integral if all its extreme points are integers.
Let $P_I$ be the set of integer points in $P$.
We want to prove that $P$ is integral if and only if $P = conv(P_I)$, where $conv(P_I)$ is the convex hull of $P_I$. i.e. We want to prove that $P$ is integral iff it is equal to its integer hull.
I can prove one of the directions.
(<-)
If $P = conv(P_I)$, then for any extreme point $x$ in $P$, $x$ is in $P_I$. Therefore, $x$ is an integer. Therefore, $P$ is integral since all its extreme points are integral.
I can't prove the other direction though.
I feel like I have to use the fact that any point in a pointed polyhedron can be written as the sum of the convex combination of its extreme points and conic combination of its extreme rays, but am not sure how to.
We also just learned about totally unimodular matrices. But I don't think those can be used here.
I would greatly appreciate some help.
Thanks
