It is well-known that every polyhedral cone is finitely generated (i.e. polytopal), and vice versa. Surprisingly, the two notions differ almost always for non-commutative versions of such cones. This was obtained as a byproduct in an…
We study the equipotential surfaces around of a two particle system in 3-d under a pairwise good potential as the one of Van der Waals. The level sets are completely determined by the solutions of polynomials of at most fourth degree that…
For any marked poset we define a continuous family of polytopes, parametrized by a hypercube, generalizing the notions of marked order and marked chain polytopes. By providing transfer maps, we show that the vertices of the hypercube…
In this paper, we examine an analogue of the recently solved spectrum conjecture by Fujita in the setting of Fine polyhedral adjunction theory. We present computational results for lower-dimensional polytopes, which lead to a complete…
In this paper, we introduce and study the multilevel-planarity testing problem, which is a generalization of upward planarity and level planarity. Let $G = (V, E)$ be a directed graph and let $\ell: V \to \mathcal P(\mathbb Z)$ be a…
We study the problem of covering a given set of $n$ points in a high, $d$-dimensional space by the minimum enclosing polytope of a given arbitrary shape. We present algorithms that work for a large family of shapes, provided either only…
We introduce the property of convex normality of rational polytopes and give a dimensionally uniform lower bound for the edge lattice lengths, guaranteeing the property. As an application, we show that if every edge of a lattice d-polytope…
We investigate the combinatorics and geometry of permutation polytopes associated to cyclic permutation groups, i.e., the convex hulls of cyclic groups of permutation matrices. We give formulas for their dimension and vertex degree. In the…
This article provides an overview of our joint work on binary polynomial optimization over the past decade. We define the multilinear polytope as the convex hull of the feasible region of a linearized binary polynomial optimization problem.…
Given a $d$-dimensional convex polytope $P$ and nonnegative integer $k$ not exceeding $d-1$, let $G_k (P)$ denote the simple graph on the node set of $k$-dimensional faces of $P$ in which two such faces are adjacent if there exists a…
We introduce machine learning methodology to the study of lattice polytopes. With supervised learning techniques, we predict standard properties such as volume, dual volume, reflexivity, etc, with accuracies up to 100%. We focus on 2d…
Let $A$ be a subvariety of affine space $\mathbb{A}^n$ whose irreducible components are $d$-dimensional linear or affine subspaces of $\mathbb{A}^n$. Denote by $D(A)\subset\mathbb{N}^n$ the set of exponents of standard monomials of $A$. We…
Symmetric edge polytopes of graphs are important object in Ehrhart theory,and have an application to Kuramoto models. In the present paper, we study the upper and lower bounds for the number of facets of symmetric edge polytopes of…
Bosse et al. conjectured that for every natural number $d \ge 2$ and every $d$-dimensional polytope $P$ in $\real^d$ there exist $d$ polynomials $p_0(x),...,p_{d-1}(x)$ satisfying $P=\{x \in \mathbb{R}^d : p_0(x) \ge 0, >..., p_{d-1}(x) \ge…
This paper defines, for each convex polytope $\Delta$, a family $H_w\Delta$ of vector spaces. The definition uses a combination of linear algebra and combinatorics. When what is called exact calculation holds, the dimension $h_w\Delta$ of…
Over the last years the vertex enumeration problem of polyhedra has seen a revival in the study of metabolic networks, which increased the demand for efficient vertex enumeration algorithms for high-dimensional polyhedra given by…
We define two classes of topological infinite degree covering maps modeled on two families of transcendental holomorphic maps. The first, which we call exponential maps of type $(p,q)$, are branched covers and is modeled on transcendental…
In a nutshell, we show that polynomials and nested polytopes are topological, algebraic and algorithmically equivalent. Given two polytops $A\subseteq B$ and a number $k$, the Nested Polytope Problem (NPP) asks, if there exists a polytope…
A bilevel program is an optimization problem whose constraints involve another optimization problem. This paper studies bilevel polynomial programs (BPPs), i.e., all the functions are polynomials. We reformulate BPPs equivalently as…
We consider maps on genus-$g$ surfaces with $n$ (labeled) faces of prescribed even degrees. It is known since work of Norbury that, if one disallows vertices of degree one, the enumeration of such maps is related to the counting of lattice…
