The extension complexity $mathsf{xc}(P)$ of a polytope $P$ is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that affinely projects to $P$. Let $G$ be a bipartite graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and no isolated vertices. Let $mathsf{STAB}(G)$ be the convex hull of the stable sets of $G$. It is easy to see that $n leqslant mathsf{xc} (mathsf{STAB}(G)) leqslant n+m$. We improve both of these bounds. For the upper bound, we show that $mathsf{xc} (mathsf{STAB}(G))$ is $O(frac{n^2}{log n})$, which is an improvement when $G$ has quadratically many edges. For the lower bound, we prove that $mathsf{xc} (mathsf{STAB}(G))$ is $Omega(n log n)$ when $G$ is the incidence graph of a finite projective plane. We also provide examples of $3$-regular bipartite graphs $G$ such that the edge vs stable set matrix of $G$ has a fooling set of size $|E(G)|$.
Let $G$ be an $n$-node graph without two disjoint odd cycles. The algorithm of Artmann, Weismantel and Zenklusen (STOC17) for bimodular integer programs can be used to find a maximum weight stable set in $G$ in strongly polynomial time. Building on s
We show that a simple Markov chain, the Glauber dynamics, can efficiently sample independent sets almost uniformly at random in polynomial time for graphs in a certain class. The class is determined by boundedness of a new graph parameter called bipa
We consider acyclic r-colorings in graphs and digraphs: they color the vertices in r colors, each of which induces an acyclic graph or digraph. (This includes the dichromatic number of a digraph, and the arboricity of a graph.) For any girth and suff
We prove that for every $n$-vertex graph $G$, the extension complexity of the correlation polytope of $G$ is $2^{O(mathrm{tw}(G) + log n)}$, where $mathrm{tw}(G)$ is the treewidth of $G$. Our main result is that this bound is tight for graphs contained in minor-closed classes.
A (proper) colouring is acyclic, star, or injective if any two colour classes induce a forest, star forest or disjoint union of vertices and edges, respectively. Hence, every injective colouring is a star colouring and every star colouring is an acyc
