We investigate a family of polytopes introduced by E.M.\ Feichtner, A.\ Postnikov and B.\ Sturmfels, which were named nestohedra. The vertices of these polytopes may intuitively be understood as constructions of hypergraphs. Limit cases in…

The symmetric edge polytope ($\mathrm{SEP}$) of a finite simple graph $G$ is a centrally symmetric lattice polytope whose vertices are defined by the edges of the graph. Among the information encoded by these polytopes are the symmetries of…

We study the convex hulls of trajectories of polynomial dynamical systems. Such trajectories include real algebraic curves. The boundaries of the resulting convex bodies are stratified into families of faces. We present numerical algorithms…

Given a graph G, we construct a simple, convex polytope whose face poset is based on the connected subgraphs of G. This provides a natural generalization of the Stasheff associahedron and the Bott-Taubes cyclohedron. Moreover, we show that…

We introduce a notion of convex hull and polytope into adele space. This allows to consider adelic triangulations which, in particular, lead to an adelic blichfeldt-type inequality, complementing former results.

For a subset T of nodes of an undirected graph G, a T-Steiner cut is a cut \delta(S) where S intersects both T and the complement of T. The T-Steiner cut dominant} of G is the dominant CUT_+(G,T) of the convex hull of the incidence vectors…

Answering a question posed by Joseph Malkevitch, we prove that there exists a polyhedral graph, with triangular faces, such that every realization of it as the graph of a convex polyhedron includes at least one face that is a scalene…

We study three families of polyhedral cones whose sections are regular simplices, cubes, and crosspolytopes. We compute solid angles and conic intrinsic volumes of these cones. We show that several quantities appearing in stochastic…

Points of an orbit of a finite Coxeter group G, generated by n reflections starting from a single seed point, are considered as vertices of a polytope (G-polytope) centered at the origin of a real n-dimensional Euclidean space. A general…

A classic theorem by Steinitz states that a graph G is realizable by a convex polyhedron if and only if G is 3-connected planar. Zonohedra are an important subclass of convex polyhedra having the property that the faces of a zonohedron are…

Obstacle representations of graphs have been investigated quite intensely over the last few years. We focus on graphs that can be represented by a single obstacle. Given a (topologically open) polygon $C$ and a finite set $P$ of points in…

Let $D$ be a digraph. A stable set $S$ of $D$ and a path partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $D$ are orthogonal if every path $P \in \mathcal{P}$ contains exactly one vertex of $S$. In 1982, Berge defined the class of $\alpha$-diperfect digraphs. A…

The length polyhedron $Q_P$ of an interval order $P$ is the convex hull of integral vectors representing the interval lengths in interval representations of $P$. This polyhedron has been studied by various authors, including Fishburn and…

Base polytopes of polymatroids, also known as generalized permutohedra, are polytopes whose edges are parallel to a vector of the form $\mathbf{e}_i - \mathbf{e}_j$. We consider the following computational problem: Given two vertices of a…

The interior angle vector ($\widehat{\alpha}$-vector) of a polytope is a metric analogue of the $f$-vector in which faces are weighted by their solid angle. For simplicial polytopes, Dehn-Sommerville-type relations on the…

A graph associahedron is a polytope dual to a simplicial complex whose elements are induced connected subgraphs called tubes. Graph associahedra generalize permutahedra, associahedra, and cyclohedra, and therefore are of great interest to…

For a finite point set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, denote by $\text{diam}(P)$ the ratio of the largest to the smallest distances between pairs of points in $P$. Let $c_{d, \alpha}(n)$ be the largest integer $c$ such that any $n$-point set $P…

Let $P$ be a simple polytope of dimension $n$ with $m$ facets and $P_{v}$ be a polytope obtained from $P$ by cutting off one vertex $v$. Let $Z=Z(P)$ and $Z_{v}=Z(P_{v})$ be the corresponding moment-angle manifolds. In \cite{[GL]} S.Gitler…

We study the number of facets of the convex hull of n independent standard Gaussian points in d-dimensional Euclidean space. In particular, we are interested in the expected number of facets when the dimension is allowed to grow with the…

Motivated by the analysis of the performance of the simplex method we study the behavior of families of pivot rules of linear programs. We introduce normalized-weight pivot rules which are fundamental for the following reasons: First, they…
