Software for computing polytopes

As can be inferred from the title, I want to do some computation on the facets representation of the polytopes given the vertices. My advisor recommended me Polymake, which is indeed useful even with ...

Does Hoffman constant keep the same after a very tiny perturbation on the polyhedron such that the bases are even unchanegd?

Suppose that $P$ is a polyhedron represented by $$P:=\{x \in \mathbb{R}^n: A x \le b \} \text{ for }A \in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n},\ b \in \mathbb{R}^m,$$ and $P$ contains interior points. Moreover, the ...

Explicit equation for border of the Minkowski sum of sets

Assume we have sets of the form $$ M_j = \{x\in\mathbb{R}^d : f_j(x) \le 0,x \ge 0\} $$ where $x\ge 0$ means $x_i \ge 0 \quad \forall i=1,\dots, d$. Goal I am looking for an (explicit) representation ...

Polyhedron coordinate bound

Given a polyhedron $$Ax\leq b$$ where we assume $A\in\mathbb Q^{m\times n}$ and $b\in\mathbb Q^{m}$ and it takes $L$ bits to represent the inequalities what is a good bound on the quantity $\|y\|_\...

Detecting non-negativity of a single constraint by polyhedral constraints - $II$

Let $$\langle a,x\rangle=b$$ be a linear constraint where $x\in\mathbb R^n$ and every entry in $a=(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ is in $\mathbb Z_{\geq0}^{n}$ (non-negative) and the entry $b$ is in $\mathbb Z_{\...

Detecting non-negativity of a single constraint by polyhedral constraints - $I$

We consider $$\langle a,x\rangle=b$$ (linear constraints) where $x\in\mathbb R_{\geq0}^n$ and every entry in $a=(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ is in $\mathbb Z_{\geq0}^{n}$ (non-negative) and the entry $b$ is in $\...

Number of vertices in a polyhedron

Consider polytopes $$A_1[x_{1,1},\dots,x_{1,m_1},z_{1}]'\leq b_1$$ $$A_2[x_{2,1},\dots,x_{2,m_2},z_{2}]'\leq b_2$$ $$B[z_{1},z_{2},z]'\leq c$$ having vertex count $v_1,v_2$ and $v$ respectively. We ...

Decomposition of Polyhedral - An example

There is no doubt that clear examples consolidate the understanding of concepts being learnt. I am new to finding the structure and decomposition of a polyhedra. Suppose that we have the system $$ \...

Mixed integer formulation of union of polytopes?

Given $t$ different unbounded polyhedra $P_1:A^{(1)}x^{(1)}\leq b^{(1)},\dots,P_t:A^{(t)}x^{(t)}\leq b^{(t)}$ we are looking for the representation of $\bigcup_{i=1}^tP_i$ (not their convex hull) with ...

Making a polyhedron integral by selecting value for a specific co-ordinate of constraint vector

I am currently trying to solve a binary integer programming(maximization) problem, where the first row of the constraint matrix corresponds to the constraints on the total number of 1's in the vector ...

Derive a vertex representation of a permutohedron from its linear-inequalities form

Let us define the $n$-permutohedron $P_n$ as the set of all $x\in\mathbb{Q}^n$ such that $$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = \binom{n{+}1}{2}\ \ \ \land\ \ \ \forall\,\text{nonempty}\ S\subsetneq\mathbb{N}_n\colon\ ...

Examples of Polyhedra with Large Shadows

Let $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a polyhedron described by $\mathcal{O}(n^{c_1})$ inequalities, where $c_1$ is a constant. Moreover, let $M\colon P \to \mathbb{R}^2$ be a linear mapping. I'm looking ...

Is the tensor product of polyhedra a polyhedron?

Conventions: A polytope in a finite-dimensional $\mathbb R$-vector space $V$ is defined to be a convex hull of finitely many points in $V$. A polyhedron in a finite-dimensional $\mathbb R$-vector ...

Grading a non-graded poset as squeezed as possible

Here is a curiosity question (motivated by the recent revamp of ranked-poset routines in Sage). Let $P$ be a finite poset. We look for a family $\left(a_p\right)_{p\in P}$ of real numbers summing up ...
