Integral hull of a polyhedron Q is polyhedron
Let $Q \subseteq R^n$ be a rational polyhedron and let $Q_I=Convexhull(Q \cap Z^n)$. By finite basis theorem, we have $Q=P+C$ for some rational polytope $P$ and finitely generated cone $C$ where $C=R_+...

Roundest polyhedra: how well can we bound the edge count of their faces?
By "roundest" I mean having the lowest surface area for the highest volume, given a fixed number of faces $n$. There've been a few questions about them on here (including from me), but I'm ...

Additional symmetries of the Traveling Salesman Polytope
Given the complete graph $K_n=(V,E)$, the Traveling Salesman Polytope is a convex polytope in $\Bbb R^E$ obtained as the convex hull of the indicator vectors of (edge-sets of) Hamiltonian cycles in $...

Structural properties of polytopes for mainstream integer or linear programs
Are there any papers/textbooks/monographs that describe distinguishing properties of the polytopes that arise when solving the linear relaxation of well-known integer programs? For example, it is ...

Influence of Vertex Weights on Performance of Polyhedral TSP Algorithms
It is well known, that the optimal tours are invariant under the addition of vertex weights; it is also known, that minimum spanning trees provide an upper bound on the length of the shortest Hamilton ...

Ref request: If an affine subspace $V$ of $\mathbb R^n$ meets an $n$-dimensional polytope $P$, then it meets $P$ in a face of dimension $\le n-\dim V$
Let $P$ and $V$ be, respectively, a bounded full-dimensional polytope and an $m$-dimensional affine subspace of $\mathbb R^n$, and assume $P \cap V$ is non-empty.
Q1. Could you provide me with a ...

Optimization over a variable domain defined as a convex hull of given points [closed]
I have an optimization problem:
$\max_{\bf{x}} Z(\bf{x})$,
s.t. $\bf{x} \in conv(\bf{S})$
where $\bf{x}$ is an $n$-dimensional vector, $Z(\bf{x})$ is a non-linear function. The domain of $\bf{x}$ ...
