How can we prove this combinatorial identity?
This is a follow up on my earlier MO post. Let's recall the sets
$$\mathbf{K}_n=\{\mathbf{k}\in\mathbb{Z}^n: k_i\geq0, k_1+\cdots+ k_n=n, k_1+\cdots k_i\leq i, \text{for all $1\leq i\leq n$}\}$$
and $\...

Catalan sequences vs composition sequences
In the paper, A polytope related to empirical distributions, plane trees, parking functions, and the associahedron, Pitman and Stanley studied the $n$-dimensional polytope
$$\Pi_n(\mathbf x)=\{y\in\...

Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity with multiplicities
Let $P$ be a convex lattice polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The function $L(t, P) = |\mathbb{Z}^n \cap t\cdot P|$ is a polynomial, and we have an equality
$$L(-t, P) = (-1)^nL(t, P^{int}),$$
where $P^{int}...

On the proportion of simplicial $d$-polytopes on $n$-vertices
I have a question regarding estimates for the proportion of simplicial $d$-polytopes on $n$-vertices.
Let $c_s(n,d)$ denote the number of combinatorial types of simplicial $d$-polytopes on $n$ ...

Bit complexity of Barvinok's algorithm
I have seen many references which state Barvinok's algorithm has polynomial time complexity for counting integer points of polytopes in fixed dimension.
What exactly is this arithmetic complexity?

The number of simplicial and general $d$-polytopes with $d+3$ labelled vertices
Micha Perles used Gale diagrams to compute the number of simplicial $d$-polytopes with $d+3$ vertices and of general $d$-polytopes with $d+3$ vertices. The computation can be found in Chapter 6.3 of ...

Number of simplicial polytopes with a given f-vector
Plenty of very nice literature is available on the characterization of f-vectors of simplicial complexes of diverse sorts (results by Billera, Bjoerner, Kalai, Stanley, among others). I mention, as an ...
