Abstract

In 1992, Kalai and Kleitman proved that the diameter of a dd-dimensional polyhedron with nn facets is at most n2+log2dn^{2+\log_2 d}. In 2014, Todd improved the Kalai-Kleitman bound to (nd)log2d(n-d)^{\log_2 d}. We improve the Todd bound to (nd)1+log2d(n-d)^{-1+\log_2 d} for nd7n \ge d \ge 7, (nd)2+log2d(n-d)^{-2+\log_2 d} for nd37n \ge d \ge 37, and (nd)3+log2d+O(1/d)(n-d)^{-3+\log_2 d+O\left(1/d\right)} for nd1n \ge d \ge 1.
