Minkowski Sum of Polytopes and Its Normality
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the normality or the integer decomposition property (IDP, for short) for Minkowski sums of integral convex polytopes. We discuss some properties on the toric rings associated with Minkowski sums of integral convex polytopes. We also study Minkowski sums of edge polytopes and give a sufficient condition for Minkowski sums of edge polytopes to have IDP.

Maximal f-vectors of Minkowski sums of large numbers of polytopes
It is known that in the Minkowski sum of r polytopes in dimension d, with r < d, the number of vertices of the sum can potentially be as high as the product of the number of vertices in each summand [2]. However, the number of vertices for sums of more polytopes was unknown so far. In this paper, we study sums of polytopes in general orientations, and show a linear relation between the number o...
متن کاملOn the Exact Maximum Complexity of Minkowski Sums of Polytopes
We present a tight bound on the exact maximum complexity of Minkowski sums of polytopes in R. In particular, we prove that the maximum number of facets of the Minkowski sum of k polytopes with m1,m2, . . . ,mk facets respectively is bounded from above by
متن کاملMinkowski sum of HV-polytopes in Rn
Minkowski sums cover a wide range of applications in many different fields like algebra, morphing, robotics, mechanical CAD/CAM systems ... This paper deals with sums of polytopes in a n dimensional space provided that both H-representation and V-representation are available i.e. the polytopes are described by both their half-spaces and vertices. The first method uses the polytope normal fans a...
متن کاملOn f-vectors of Minkowski additions of convex polytopes
The objective of this paper is to present two types of results on Minkowski sums of convex polytopes. The first is about a special class of polytopes we call perfectly centered and the combinatorial properties of the Minkowski sum with their own dual. In particular, we have a characterization of face lattice of the sum in terms of the face lattice of a given perfectly centered polytope. Exact f...
متن کاملRelative Stanley–reisner Theory and Lower Bound Theorems for Minkowski Sums
This note complements an earlier paper of the author by providing a lower bound theorem for Minkowski sums of polytopes. In [AS16], we showed an analogue of McMullen’s Upper Bound theorem for Minkowski sums of polytopes, estimating the maximal complexity of such a sum of polytopes. A common question in reaction to that research was the question for an analogue for the Barnette’s Lower Bound The...
