Abstract

We study a family of polytopes and their duals, that appear in various optimization problems as the unit balls for certain norms. These two families interpolate between the hypercube, the unit ball for the \infty-norm, and its dual cross-polytope, the unit ball for the 11-norm. We give combinatorial and geometric properties of both families of polytopes such as their ff-vector, their volume, and the volume of their boundary.
