In the maximum independent set of convex polygons problem, we are given a set of $n$ convex polygons in the plane with the objective of selecting a maximum cardinality subset of non-overlapping polygons. Here we study a special case of the…

We study the existence and structure of $d$-polytopes for which the number $f_1$ of edges is small compared to the number $f_0$ of vertices. Our results are more elegantly expressed in terms of the excess degree of the polytope, defined as…

We give an incremental polynomial time algorithm for enumerating the vertices of any polyhedron $\mathcal{P}(A,\mathbf{1})=\{x\in\RR^n \mid Ax\geq \b1,~x\geq \b0\}$, when $A$ is a totally unimodular matrix. Our algorithm is based on…

It is an amazing and a bit counter-intuitive discovery by Micha Perles from the sixties that there are ``non-rational polytopes'': combinatorial types of convex polytopes that cannot be realized with rational vertex coordinates. We describe…

A (convex) polytope $P$ is said to be $2$-level if for every direction of hyperplanes which is facet-defining for $P$, the vertices of $P$ can be covered with two hyperplanes of that direction. The study of these polytopes is motivated by…

The Orbit Problem consists of determining, given a matrix $A\in \mathbb{R}^{d\times d}$ and vectors $x,y\in \mathbb{R}^d$, whether there exists $n\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $A^n=y$. This problem was shown to be decidable in a seminal work of…

This paper develops asymptotic methods to count faces of random high-dimensional polytopes. Beyond its intrinsic interest, our conclusions have surprising implications - in statistics, probability, information theory, and signal processing…

We provide a writeup of a resolution of Erd\H{o}s Problem #728; this is the first Erd\H{o}s problem (a problem proposed by Paul Erd\H{o}s which has been collected in the Erd\H{o}s Problems website) regarded as fully resolved autonomously by…

In Ehrhart theory, the well-known sign pattern problem asks: given a positive integer $d\geq 3$ and integers $1 \leq i_1 < \cdots < i_k \leq d-2$, does there exist a $d$-dimensional integral polytope $\mathcal{P}$ such that in its Ehrhart…

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 apply the asymptotic iteration method (AIM) [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 36, 11807 (2003)] to solve new classes of second-order homogeneous linear differential equation. In particular, solutions are found for a general class of eigenvalue…

In this paper we study various scribability problems for polytopes. We begin with the classical $k$-scribability problem proposed by Steiner and generalized by Schulte, which asks about the existence of $d$-polytopes that cannot be realized…

The aim of this paper is the determination of the largest $n$-dimensional polytope with $n+3$ vertices of unit diameter. This is a special case of a more general problem proposed by Graham.

We provide a sharp estimate for the asymptotic number of lattice zonotopes, inscribed in $[0,n ]^d$ when $n$ tends to infinity. Our estimate refines the logarithmic equivalent established by Barany, Bureaux, and Lund when the sum of the…

The Monotone Upper Bound Problem (Klee, 1965) asks if the number M(d,n) of vertices in a monotone path along edges of a d-dimensional polytope with n facets can be as large as conceivably possible: Is M(d,n) = M_{ubt}(d,n), the maximal…

Preorder polytopes, defined from preorders on finite sets, are introduced and studied from a lattice point enumeration point of view. They naturally generalize arbor polytopes, recently introduced and studied by the second named author.…

We investigate Newton's method for complex polynomials of arbitrary degree $d$, normalized so that all their roots are in the unit disk. For each degree $d$, we give an explicit set $\mathcal{S}_d$ of $3.33d\log^2 d(1 + o(1))$ points with…

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…

Let $q$ be an integer. A $D(q)$-$m$-tuple is a set of $m$ distinct positive integers ${a_1, a_2, . . . , a_m}$ such that $a_ia_j + q$ is a perfect square for all $1 \leq i < j \leq m$. By counting integer solutions $x \in [1, b]$ of…

We discuss the problem of counting vertices in Gelfand-Zetlin polytopes. Namely, we deduce a partial differential equation with constant coefficients on the exponential generating function for these numbers. For some particular classes of…
