The order and chain polytopes, introduced by Richard P. Stanley, form a pair of Ehrhart equivalent polytopes associated to a given finite poset. A conjecture by Takayuki Hibi and Nan Li states that the $f$-vector of the chain polytope…
We study restricted chain-order polytopes associated to Young diagrams using combinatorial mutations. These polytopes are obtained by intersecting chain-order polytopes with certain hyperplanes. The family of chain-order polytopes…
We introduce a class of polytopes that we call chainlink polytopes and which allow us to construct infinite families of pairs of non isomorphic rational polytopes with the same Ehrhart quasi-polynomial. Our construction is based on circular…
Reflexive polytopes which have the integer decomposition property are of interest. Recently, some large classes of reflexive polytopes with integer decomposition property coming from the order polytopes and the chain polytopes of finite…
The problem when the order polytope and the chain polytope of a finite partially ordered set are unimodularly equivalent will be solved.
We give an explicit combinatorial description of the two-dimensional faces of both the order polytope $\mathcal{O}(P)$ and the chain polytope $\mathcal{C}(P)$ of a partially ordered set $P$. Using these descriptions, we show that for any…
The order and chain polytopes are two 0/1-polytopes constructed from a finite poset. In this paper, we study the $f$-vectors of these polytopes. We investigate how the order and chain polytopes behave under disjoint unions and ordinal sums…
We show combinatorially that the higher-order matching polynomials of several families of graphs are d-orthogonal polynomials. The matching polynomial of a graph is a generating function for coverings of a graph by disjoint edges; the…
It is already known that order polytopes and chain polytopes are always 2-level polytopes. In general, this is not true for marked order and marked chain polytopes. We study the geometry of marked order polytopes, marked chain polytopes,…
Let $P$ be an arbitrary finite partially ordered set. It will be proved that the number of edges of the order polytope ${\mathcal O}(P)$ is equal to that of the chain polytope ${\mathcal C}(P)$. Furthermore, it will be shown that the degree…
Cutting a polytope is a very natural way to produce new classes of interesting polytopes. Moreover, it has been very enlightening to explore which algebraic and combinatorial properties of the orignial polytope are hereditary to its…
We introduce in this paper the marked chain-order polytopes associated to a marked poset, generalizing the marked chain polytopes and marked order polytopes by putting them as extremal cases in an Ehrhart equivalent family. Some…
We consider random walk polynomial sequences $(P_n(x))_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}\subseteq\mathbb{R}[x]$ given by recurrence relations of the form $P_0(x)=1$, $P_1(x)=x$ and $x P_n(x)=a_n P_{n+1}(x)+c_n P_{n-1}(x)\;(n\in\mathbb{N})$, where $a_n$…
We construct infinite families of abstract regular polytopes of type $\{4,p_1,\ldots,p_{n-1}\}$ from extensions of centrally symmetric spherical abstract regular $n$-polytopes. In addition, by applying the halving operation, we obtain…
Stanley introduced and studied two lattice polytopes, the order polytope and chain polytope, associated to a finite poset. Recently Ohsugi and Tsuchiya introduce an enriched version of them, called the enriched order polytope and enriched…
In this paper, we construct an infinite families of group $G$ of order $4p^m$ which can be an automorphism group of some regular polytope with type $\{p, 2p\}$, where $m \geq 3$ and $p$ is an odd prime. For $p=3$, our polytopes are the…
While the parameters of atomic nuclei, Z and A, indicate a general structural pattern for the nuclei, their exact masses in their fine differences seem not to exhibit the orderly kind of logical system that systematic and orderly nature…
Every regular polytope has the remarkable property that it inherits all symmetries of each of its facets. This property distinguishes a natural class of polytopes which are called hereditary. Regular polytopes are by definition hereditary,…
Let $(P_n)_n$ and $(Q_n)_n$ be two sequences of monic polynomials linked by a type structure relation such as $$ Q_{n}(x)+r_nQ_{n-1}(x)=P_{n}(x)+s_nP_{n-1}(x)+t_nP_{n-2}(x)\;, $$ where $(r_n)_n$, $(s_n)_n$ and $(t_n)_n$ are sequences of…
We consider several families of combinatorial polytopes associated with the following NP-complete problems: maximum cut, Boolean quadratic programming, quadratic linear ordering, quadratic assignment, set partition, set packing, stable set,…
