The symmetric edge polytope of a simple graph is a lattice polytope defined as the convex hull of a subset of the type A roots corresponding to the edges of the graph. In this article we prove a sharp lower bound for the number of edges of…

We present a simple algorithm for determining the extremal points in Euclidean space whose convex hull is the nth polytope in the sequence known as the multiplihedra. This answers the open question of whether the multiplihedra could be…

The still-unsolved problem of determining the set of eigenvalues realized by $n$-by-$n$ doubly stochastic matrices, those matrices with row sums and column sums equal to $1$, has attracted much attention in the last century. This problem is…

A new algorithm for the efficient numerical approximation of weakly singular integrals over convex polytopes is introduced. Such integrals appear in the Galerkin discretizations of integral equations and nonlocal partial differential…

In this work, for a given oriented graph $D$, we study its interval and hull numbers, respectively, in the oriented geodetic, P3 and P3* convexities. This last one, we believe to be formally defined and first studied in this paper, although…

We show how the size of the Galois groups of iterates of a quadratic polynomial $f(x)$ can be parametrized by certain rational points on the curves $C_n:y^2=f^n(x)$ and their quadratic twists. To that end, we study the arithmetic of such…

Let C be a real nonsingular affine curve of genus one, embedded in affine n-space, whose set of real points is compact. For any polynomial f which is nonnegative on C(R), we prove that there exist polynomials f_i with f \equiv \sum_i f_i^2…

Using connections to random matrix theory and orthogonal polynomials, we develop a framework for obtaining explicit closed-form formulae for the number, $\mathscr{N}_{g}(2\nu,j)$, of connected $2\nu$-valent labeled graphs with $j$ vertices…

In this paper, we first consider the graph of $(F_1,F_{2},\cdots,F_{n})$ on $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^{n},$ where $F_{j}(z)=\bar{z}^{m_{j}}_{j}+R_{j}(z),j=1,2,\cdots,n,$ which has non-isolated CR-singularities if $m_{j}>1$ for some…

We present some observations on a restricted variant of unitary Cayley graphs modulo n, and the implications for a decomposition of elements of symplectic operators over the integers modulo n. We define quadratic unitary Cayley graphs G_n,…

We introduce an optimal transport based approach for comparing undirected graphs with non-negative edge weights and general vertex labels, and we study connections between the resulting linear program and the graph isomorphism problem. Our…

Let $\mathcal{G} = \{G_1 = (V, E_1), \dots, G_m = (V, E_m)\}$ be a collection of $m$ graphs defined on a common set of vertices $V$ but with different edge sets $E_1, \dots, E_m$. Informally, a function $f :V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is…

It is well-known that the McCormick relaxation for the bilinear constraint $z=xy$ gives the convex hull over the box domains for $x$ and $y$. In network applications where the domain of bilinear variables is described by a network polytope,…

Let $S$ be a finite set with $n$ elements in a real linear space. Let $\cJ_S$ be a set of $n$ intervals in $\nR$. We introduce a convex operator $\co(S,\cJ_S)$ which generalizes the familiar concepts of the convex hull $\conv S$ and the…

We study properties of the convex hull of a set $S$ described by quadratic inequalities. A simple way of generating inequalities valid on $S$ is to take a nonnegative linear combinations of the defining inequalities of $S$. We call such…

Let $G$ be a finite, simple, and undirected graph and let $S$ be a set of vertices of $G$. In the geodetic convexity, a set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is convex if all vertices belonging to any shortest path between two vertices of $S$…

A simplified, user-friendly repackaging of the curvature estimates implied by the Seiberg-Witten equations is formulated in terms of the convex hull of the set of monopole classes. New results are also obtained concerning boundary cases of…

In this paper we present a new framework for the solution of active contour models on graphs. With the use of the Finite Element Method we generalize active contour models on graphs and reduce the problem from a partial differential…

We study the question as to when the closed convex hull of a K-convex map equals its K-epigraph. In particular, we shed light onto the smallest cone K such that a given map has convex and closed K-epigraph, respectively. We apply our…

Using elementary duality properties of positive semidefinite moment matrices and polynomial sum-of-squares decompositions, we prove that the convex hull of rationally parameterized algebraic varieties is semidefinite representable (that is,…
