Generating Facets for the Independence System Polytope

چکیده
In this paper, we present procedures to obtain facet-defining inequalities for the independence system polytope. These procedures are defined for inequalities which are not necessarily rank inequalities. We illustrate the use of these procedures by deriving strong valid inequalities for the acyclic induced subgraph, triangle free induced subgraph, bipartite induced subgraph, and knapsack polytopes. Finally, we derive a new family of facet-defining inequalities for the independence system polytope by adding a set of edges to antiwebs.

Generating facets for the cut polytope of a graph by triangular elimination
The cut polytope of a graph arises in many fields. Although much is known about facets of the cut polytope of the complete graph, very little is known for general graphs. The study of Bell inequalities in quantum information science requires knowledge of the facets of the cut polytope of the complete bipartite graph or, more generally, the complete k-partite graph. Lifting is a central tool to ...
متن کاملFacet Generating Techniques
Given a polyhedron P which is of interest, a major goal of polyhedral combinatorics is to find classes of essential, i.e. facet inducing inequalities which describe P . In general this is a difficult task. We consider the case in which we have knowledge of facets for a face F of P , and present some general theory and methods for exploiting the close relationship between such polyhedra in order...
متن کاملOn the relaxation polytope of the linear ordering problem
In the paper we investigate the linear ordering polytope P n. We consider the 3-dicycle relaxation polytope B n and give an example of a fractional vertex of B n such that all non-integral values of the vertex are not equal to 1=2. In this paper also we present a constructive operation (5-Extension) for generating new facets of the linear ordering polytope P n. By connecting MM obius ladders wi...
متن کاملNew facets for the planar subgraph polytope
This paper describes certain facet classes for the planar subgraph polytope. These facets are extensions of Kuratowski facets and are of the form 2x(U)+x(E(G)\U) ≤ 2|U |+|E(G)\U | −2 where the edge set U varies and can be empty. Two of the new types of facets complete the class of extended subdivision facets, explored by Jünger and Mutzel. In addition, the other types of facets consist of a new...
متن کاملGeometric shellings of 3-polytopes
A total order of the facets of a polytope is a geometric shelling if there exists a combinatorially equivalent polytope in which the corresponding order of facets becomes a line shelling. The subject of this paper is (geometric) shellings of 3-polytopes. Recently, a graph theoretical characterization of geometric shellings of 3-polytopes were given by Holt & Klee and Mihalisin & Klee. We rst gi...
