An equidistant polytope is a special equidistant set in the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ all of whose boundary points have equal distances from two finite systems of points. Since one of the finite systems of the given points is required to be in…
In the interesting paper G. Honnouvo and K. Thirulogasanthar [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 55} , 093511 (2014)] the authors obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions under which the oscillator algebra connected with orthogonal polynomials on…
A theorem of Howe states that every 3-dimensional lattice polytope $P$ whose only lattice points are its vertices, is a Cayley polytope, i.e. $P$ is the convex hull of two lattice polygons with distance one. We want to generalize this…
We obtain new linear programming (LP) and constructive bounds for the covering radius of binary orthogonal arrays of strength $2k$. Our LP bounds develop in two alternative scenarios. First, if a point $y \in F_2^n$, where the covering…
We consider the following problem: Given a rational matrix $A \in \setQ^{m \times n}$ and a rational polyhedron $Q \subseteq\setR^{m+p}$, decide if for all vectors $b \in \setR^m$, for which there exists an integral $z \in \setZ^p$ such…
We relate the maximum semidefinite and linear extension complexity of a family of polytopes to the cardinality of this family and the minimum pairwise Hausdorff distance of its members. This result directly implies a known lower bound on…
We consider a family of integer linear programs in which the coefficients of the constraints and objective function are polynomials of an integer parameter $t.$ For $\ell$ in $\mathbb{Z}_+,$ we define $f_\ell(t)$ to be the…
Consider the problem of constructing an experimental design, optimal for estimating parameters of a given statistical model with respect to a chosen criterion. To address this problem, the literature usually provides a single solution.…
We investigate a novel setting for polytope rigidity, where a flex must preserve edge lengths and the planarity of faces, but is allowed to change the shapes of faces. For instance, the regular cube is flexible in this notion. We present…
Let $A \in Z^{m \times n}$, $rank(A) = n$, $b \in Z^m$, and $P$ be an $n$-dimensional polyhedron, induced by the system $A x \leq b$. It is a known fact that if $F$ is a $k$-face of $P$, then there exist at least $n-k$ linearly independent…
We provide a framework for which one can approach showing the integer decomposition property for symmetric polytopes. We utilize this framework to prove a special case which we refer to as $2$-partition maximal polytopes in the case where…
We prove the result in the title. We infer, that unlike cylindric algebras, there is a first order axiomatization of the class of completely representable polyadic algebras of infinite dimension, though the one we obtain is infinite; in…
We study the PBW filtration on irreducible finite--dimensional representations for the Lie algebra of type $\tt B_n$. We prove in several cases, including all multiples of the adjoint representation and all irreducible finite--dimensional…
Recently, several works have shown that natural modifications of the classical conditional gradient method (aka Frank-Wolfe algorithm) for constrained convex optimization, provably converge with a linear rate when: i) the feasible set is a…
Motivated by the need to better understand the properties of sparse cutting-planes used in mixed integer programming solvers, the paper [2] studied the idealized problem of how well a polytope is approximated by the use of sparse valid…
We show that every (possibly unbounded) convex polygon $P$ in $R^2$ with $m$ edges can be represented by inequalities $p_1 \ge 0,...,p_n \ge 0,$ where the $p_i$'s are products of at most $k$ affine functions each vanishing on an edge of $P$…
An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…
What is the value of input information in solving linear programming? The celebrated ellipsoid algorithm tells us that the full information of input constraints is not necessary; the algorithm works as long as there exists an oracle that,…
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.…
