In [3], C. Davis showed that if a convex polyhedral cone C (the positive span of a finite set of vectors in Euclidean space) contains no nonzero linear subspace, then C is linearly isomorphic to the set V+ of nonnegative points in a linear subspace V of Rn. Moreover n can be taken to be the number of facets (maximal proper faces) of C.
