Some characteristics of the simple Boolean quadric polytope extension
Abstract
Following the seminal work of Padberg on the Boolean quadric polytope and its LP relaxation , we consider a natural extension: and polytopes, with being projection of the face (and -- projection of the face). We consider a problem of integer recognition: determine whether a maximum of a linear objective function is achieved at an integral vertex of a polytope. Various special instances of 3-SAT problem like NAE-3-SAT, 1-in-3-SAT, weighted MAX-3-SAT, and others can be solved by integer recognition over . We describe all integral vertices of . Like , polytope has the Trubin-property being quasi-integral (1-skeleton of is a subset of 1-skeleton of ). However, unlike , not all vertices of are pairwise adjacent, the diameter of equals 2, and the clique number of 1-skeleton is superpolynomial in dimension. It is known that the fractional vertices of are half-integer (0, 1 or 1/2 valued). We show that the denominators of fractional vertices can take any integral value. Finally, we describe polynomially solvable subproblems of integer recognition over with constrained objective functions. Based on that, we solve some cases of edge constrained bipartite graph coloring.
