In this paper we define and investigate a class of polytopes which we call "vertex generated" consisting of polytopes which are the average of their $0$ and $n$ dimensional faces. We show many results regarding this class, among them: that…
Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…
A realisation of a metric $d$ on a finite set $X$ is a weighted graph $(G,w)$ whose vertex set contains $X$ such that the shortest-path distance between elements of $X$ considered as vertices in $G$ is equal to $d$. Such a realisation…
We completely solve the problem of enumerating combinatorially inequivalent $d$-dimensional polytopes with $d+3$ vertices. A first solution of this problem, by Lloyd, was published in 1970. But the obtained counting formula was not correct,…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a family of multiple orthogonal polynomials that is naturally linked with the normal matrix model with a monomial potential of arbitrary degree $d+1$. The polynomials that we investigate are…
In this series of papers we study subspaces of de Branges spaces of entire functions which are generated by majorization on subsets $D$ of the closed upper half-plane. The present, first, part is addressed to the question which subspaces of…
An integral polytope is a polytope whose vertices have integer coordinates. A unimodular triangulation of an integral polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a triangulation in which all simplices are integral with volume $1/d!$. A classic result of…
This work presents the tessellations and polytopes from the perspective of both n-dimensional geometry and abstract symmetry groups. It starts with a brief introduction to the terminology and a short motivation. In the first part, it…
Dominating set problems are among the most important class of combinatorial problems in graph optimization, from a theoretical as well as from a practical point of view. In this paper, we address the recently introduced (minimum) weighted…
We prove a general multi-dimensional central limit theorem for the expected number of vertices of a given degree in the family of planar maps whose vertex degrees are restricted to an arbitrary (finite or infinite) set of positive integers…
We use the formalism of Generalised Geometry to characterise in general the supersymmetric backgrounds in type II supergravity that have a null Killing vector. We then specify this analysis to configurations that preserve the same…
In this note we generalize the definition of partial permutations of Ivanov and Kerov and we build a universal algebra which projects onto the m-centraliser algebra defined by Creedon. We use it to present a new proof for the polynomiality…
For a positive integer $d$, a non-negative integer $n$ and a non-negative integer $h\leq n$, we study the number $C_{n}^{(d)}$ of principal ideals; and the number $C_{n,h}^{(d)}$ of principal ideals generated by an element of rank $h$, in…
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first part is concerned with the associated and the so-called co-polynomials, i.e. new sequences obtained when finite perturbations of the recurrence coefficients are considered. In the second part we…
In this paper, we investigate two properties concerning the unimodality of the $\delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes, which are log-concavity and alternatingly increasingness. For lattice polytopes $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$, we prove…
In the Minimum $d$-Dimensional Arrangement Problem (d-dimAP) we are given a graph with edge weights, and the goal is to find a 1-1 map of the vertices into $\mathbb{Z}^d$ (for some fixed dimension $d\geq 1$) minimizing the total weighted…
We consider, for complete bipartite graphs, the convex hulls of characteristic vectors of all matchings, extended by a binary entry indicating whether the matching contains two specific edges. These polytopes are associated to the quadratic…
The present work is the first member of a pair of papers concerning decreasingly-minimal (dec-min) elements of a set of integral vectors, where a vector is dec-min if its largest component is as small as possible, within this, the next…
The homotopy type of the complement manifold of a complexified toric arrangement has been investigated by d'Antonio and Delucchi in a paper that shows the minimality of such topological space. In this work we associate to a given toric…
The goal of this paper is to establish certain inequalities between the numbers of convex polytopes in the d-dimensional space "containing" and "avoiding" zero provided that their vertex sets are subsets of a given finite set of points in…
