We investigate graded retracts of polytopal algebras (essentially the homogeneous rings of affine cones over projective toric varieties) as polytopal analogues of vector spaces. In many cases we show that these retracts are again polytopal…
Inspired by prior work by Tian and by Cao and Xu, this paper presents an efficient computer-aided framework to characterize the fundamental limits of coded caching systems under the constraint of linear coding. The proposed framework…
Flow polytopes of acyclic oriented graphs arise naturally in combinatorial optimization, and the study of their volumes and triangulations has revealed intriguing connections across combinatorics, geometry, algebra, and representation…
It has been shown that the edge structure of the characteristic imset polytope is closely connected to the question of causal discovery. The diameter of a polytope is an indicator of how connected the polytope is and moreover gives us a…
We exhibit an analogy between the problem of pushing forward measurable sets under measure preserving maps and linear relaxations in combinatorialoptimization. We show how invariance of hyperfiniteness of graphings under local isomorphism…
We consider "pressing sequences", a certain kind of transformation of graphs with loops into empty graphs, motivated by an application in phylogenetics. In particular, we address the question of when a graph has precisely one such pressing…
This manuscript bridges nonparametric smoothness-based and shape-restricted estimation, which may appear as two disjoint paradigms in the field. The proposed approach is motivated by a conceptually simple observation: every Lipschitz…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
We investigate symmetric edge polytopes generated by Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs in a high-dimensional regime. These objects provide a natural and largely unexplored model of random lattice polytopes, in which geometric properties are…
We consider a class of $0$-$1$ polynomial programming termed multiple choice polynomial programming (MCPP) where the constraint requires exact one component per subset of the partition to be $1$ after all the entries are partitioned.…
Consider an infinite graph with nodes initially labeled by independent Bernoulli random variables of parameter p. We address the density classification problem, that is, we want to design a (probabilistic or deterministic) cellular…
Linear optimization problems are investigated whose parameters are uncertain. We apply coherent distortion risk measures to capture the possible violation of a restriction. Each risk constraint induces an uncertainty set of coefficients,…
A convex body is unconditional if it is symmetric with respect to reflections in all coordinate hyperplanes. In this paper, we investigate unconditional lattice polytopes with respect to geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties.…
Through tropical normal idempotent matrices, we introduce isocanted alcoved polytopes, computing their $f$--vectors and checking the validity of the following five conjectures: B\'{a}r\'{a}ny, unimodality, $3^d$, flag and cubical lower…
We investigate topological, combinatorial, statistical, and enumeration properties of finite graphs with high Kolmogorov complexity (almost all graphs) using the novel incompressibility method. Example results are: (i) the mean and variance…
We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of models of lattice polygons, mainly on the square lattice. In particular, we focus on limiting area laws in the uniform perimeter ensemble where, for fixed perimeter, each polygon of a given area occurs…
Adjacency polytopes, a.k.a. symmetric edge polytopes, associated with undirected graphs have been defined and studied in several seemingly independent areas including number theory, discrete geometry, and dynamical systems. In particular,…
We address combinatorial problems that can be formulated as minimization of a partially separable function of discrete variables (energy minimization in graphical models, weighted constraint satisfaction, pseudo-Boolean optimization, 0-1…
This paper considers the problem of compressive sensing over a finite alphabet, where the finite alphabet may be inherent to the nature of the data or a result of quantization. There are multiple examples of finite alphabet based static as…
We consider $d$-dimensional lattice polytopes $\Delta$ with $h^*$-polynomial $h^*_\Delta=1+h_k^*t^k$ for $1<k<(d+1)/2$ and relate them to some abelian subgroups of $\SL_{d+1}(\C)$ of order $1+h_k^*=p^r$ where $p$ is a prime number. These…
