چکیده

Given a generic m x n matrix A, the simplicial complex/C(A) is defined to be the collection of simplices representing maximal lattice point free convex bodies of the form {x : A x <~ b}. The main result of this paper is that the topological space associated with/C (A) is homeomorphic with R m-1 . ( ~ 1998 The Mathematical Programming Society, Inc. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

A convex combinatorial property of compact sets in the plane and its roots in lattice theory

K. Adaricheva and M. Bolat have recently proved that if $,mathcal U_0$ and $,mathcal U_1$ are circles in a triangle with vertices $A_0,A_1,A_2$, then there exist $jin {0,1,2}$ and $kin{0,1}$ such that $,mathcal U_{1-k}$ is included in the convex hull of $,mathcal U_kcup({A_0,A_1, A_2}setminus{A_j})$. One could say disks instead of circles.Here we prove the existence of such a $j$ and $k$ ...

Lattice of compactifications of a topological group

We show that the lattice of compactifications of a topological group $G$ is a complete lattice which is isomorphic to the lattice of all closed normal subgroups of the Bohr compactification $bG$ of $G$. The correspondence defines a contravariant functor from the category of topological groups to the category of complete lattices. Some properties of the compactification lattice of a topological ...

Corner Polyhedra and Maximal Lattice-free Convex Sets : A Geometric Approach to Cutting Plane Theory

Corner Polyhedra were introduced by Gomory in the early 60s and were studied by Gomory and Johnson. The importance of the corner polyhedron is underscored by the fact that almost all “generic” cutting planes, both in the theoretical literature as well as ones used in practice, are valid for the corner polyhedron. So the corner polyhedron can be viewed as a unifying structure from which many of ...

Convex $L$-lattice subgroups in $L$-ordered groups

In this paper, we have focused to study convex $L$-subgroups of an $L$-ordered group. First, we introduce the concept of a convex $L$-subgroup and a convex $L$-lattice subgroup of an $L$-ordered group and give some examples. Then we find some properties and use them to construct convex $L$-subgroup generated by a subset $S$ of an $L$-ordered group $G$ . Also, we generalize a well known result a...

The complex of maximal lattice free simplices

The simplicial complex K(A) is defined to be the collection of simplices, and their proper subsimplices, representing maximal lattice free bodies of the form (x: Ax<~ b), with A a fixed generic (n + 1 ) × n matrix. The topological space associated with K(A) is shown to be homeomorphic to R n, and the space obtained by identifying lattice translates of these simplices is homeorphic to the n-toms.
