چکیده

We consider a class of integer-valued discrete convex functions, called BS-convex functions, defined on integer lattices whose affinity domains are sets of integral points of integral bisubmodular polyhedra. We examine discrete structures of BSconvex functions and give a characterization of BS-convex functions in terms of their convex conjugate functions by means of (discordant) Freudenthal simplicial divisions of the dual space.

Generalized skew bisubmodularity: A characterization and a min-max theorem

Huber, Krokhin, and Powell (Proc. SODA2013) introduced a concept of skew bisubmodularity, as a generalization of bisubmodularity, in their complexity dichotomy theorem for valued constraint satisfaction problems over the three-value domain. In this paper we consider a natural generalization of the concept of skew bisubmodularity and show a connection between the generalized skew bisubmodularity...

Delta-Matroids, Jump Systems, and Bisubmodular Polyhedra

We relate an axiomatic generalization of matroids, called a jump system, to poly-hedra arising from bisubmodular functions. Unlike the case for usual submodularity, the points of interest are not all the integral points in the relevant polyhedron, but form a subset of them. However, we do show that the convex hull of the set of points of a jump system is a bisubmodular polyhedron, and that the ...

Neighbor Systems, Jump Systems, and Bisubmodular Polyhedra

The concept of neighbor system, introduced by Hartvigsen (2009), is a set of integral vectors satisfying a certain combinatorial property. In this paper, we reveal the relationship of neighbor systems with jump systems and with bisubmodular polyhedra. We firstly prove that for every neighbor system, there exists a jump system which has the same neighborhood structure as the original neighbor sy...

Collapsible Polyhedra and Median Spaces

It is shown that a collapsible, compact, connected, simplicial polyhedron admits a cubical subdivision and a median convexity, such that all cubes are convex subspaces with a convexity of subcubes. Conversely, a compact, connected, cubical polyhedron with a convexity as described admits a collapsible simplicial subdivision. Such a convexity, when it exists, is uniquely determined by the corresp...
