Abstract

Efficiently enumerating all the extreme points of a polytope identified by a system of linear inequalities is a well-known challenge issue.We consider a special case and present an algorithm that enumerates all the extreme points of a bisubmodular polyhedron in O(n4V)\mathcal{O}(n^4|V|) time and O(n2)\mathcal{O}(n^2) space complexity, where n n is the dimension of underlying space and VV is the set of outputs. We use the reverse search and signed poset linked to extreme points to avoid the redundant search. Our algorithm is a generalization of enumerating all the extreme points of a base polyhedron which comprises some combinatorial enumeration problems.
