Some Facets of the Polytope of Even Permutation Matrices

چکیده
We describe a class of facets of the polytope of convex combinations of the collection of even n × n permutation matrices. As a consequence, we prove the conjecture of Brualdi and Liu [4] that the number of facets of the polytope is not bounded by a polynomial in n.

New Facets of the QAP-Polytope
The Birkhoff polytope is defined to be the convex hull of permutation matrices, Pσ ∀σ ∈ Sn. We define a second-order permutation matrix P [2] σ in R ×n corresponding to a permutation σ as (P [2] σ )ij,kl = (Pσ)ij(Pσ)kl. We call the convex hull of the second-order permutation matrices, the second-order Birkhoff polytope and denote it by B. It can be seen that B is isomorphic to the QAP-polytope,...
متن کاملThe Alternating Sign Matrix Polytope
The Birkhoff (permutation) polytope, Bn, consists of the n × n nonnegative doubly stochastic matrices, has dimension (n− 1)2, and has n2 facets. A new analogue, the alternating sign matrix polytope, ASMn, is introduced and characterized. Its vertices are the Qn−1 j=0 (3j+1)! (n+j)! n × n alternating sign matrices. It has dimension (n− 1)2, has 4[(n− 2)2 +1] facets, and has a simple inequality d...
متن کاملThe polytope of even doubly stochastic matrices
The polytope Q, of the convex combinations of the permutation matrices of order n is well known (Birkhoff’s theorem) to be the polytope of doubly stochastic matrices of order n. In particular it is easy to decide whether a matrix of order n belongs to Q,. . check to see that the entries are nonnegative and that all row and columns sums equal 1. Now the permutations z of { 1, 2, . . . . n} are i...
متن کاملF-Permutations induce Some Graphs and Matrices
In this paper, by using the notion of fuzzy subsets, the concept of F-permutation is introduced. Then by applying this notion the concepts of presentation of an F-polygroup, graph of an F-permutation and F-permutation matrices are investigated.
متن کاملA Property of the Birkhoff Polytope
The Birkhoff polytope Bn is the convex hull of all n× n permutation matrices in Rn×n. We compute the combinatorial symmetry group of the Birkhoff polytope. A representation polytope is the convex hull of some finite matrix group G 6 GL(d,R). We show that the group of permutation matrices is essentially the only finite matrix group which yields a representation polytope with the face lattice of ...
