The first author showed that for a given point $p$ in an $nk$-polytope $P$ there are $n$ points in the $k$-faces of $P$, whose barycenter is $p$. We show that we can increase the dimension of $P$ by $r$, if we allow $r$ of the points to be in $(k+1)$-faces. While we can force points with a prescribed barycenter into faces of dimensions $k$ and $k+1$, we show that the gap in dimensions of these faces can never exceed one. We also investigate the weighted analogue of this question, where a convex combination with predetermined coefficients of $n$ points in $k$-faces of an $nk$-polytope is supposed to equal a given target point. While weights that are not all equal may be prescribed for certain values of $n$ and $k$, any coefficient vector that yields a point different from the barycenter cannot be prescribed for fixed $n$ and sufficiently large $k$.

We describe a method for computing the highest degree coefficients of a weighted Ehrhart quasi-polynomial for a rational simple polytope.
We find minimal and maximal length of intersections of lines at a fixed distance to the origin with the cross-polytope. We also find maximal volume noncentral sections of the cross-polypote by hyperplanes which are at a fixed large distance to the or igin and minimal volume sections by symmetric slabs of a large fixed width. This parallels recent results about noncentral sections of the cube due to Moody, Stone, Zach and Zvavitch.

The square root rank of a nonnegative matrix $A$ is the minimum rank of a matrix $B$ such that $A=B circ B$, where $circ$ denotes entrywise product. We show that the square root rank of the slack matrix of the correlation polytope is exponential. Our main technique is a way to lower bound the rank of certain matrices under arbitrary sign changes of the entries using properties of the roots of polynomials in number fields. The square root rank is an upper bound on the positive semidefinite rank of a matrix, and corresponds the special case where all matrices in the factorization are rank-one.
We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a large class of $d$-dimensional normed spaces (including all $ell^p$ spaces with $p ot=2$). Complete combinatorial characterisations are obtained for half-turn rotation in the $ell^1$ and $ell^infty$-plane. As a key tool, a new Henneberg-type inductive construction is developed for the matroidal class of $(2,2,0)$-gain-tight graphs.
An important problem that commonly arises in areas such as internet traffic-flow analysis, phylogenetics and electrical circuit design, is to find a representation of any given metric $D$ on a finite set by an edge-weighted graph, such that the total edge length of the graph is minimum over all such graphs. Such a graph is called an optimal realization and finding such realizations is known to be NP-hard. Recently Varone presented a heuristic greedy algorithm for computing optimal realizations. Here we present an alternative heuristic that exploits the relationship between realizations of the metric $D$ and its so-called tight span $T_D$. The tight span $T_D$ is a canonical polytopal complex that can be associated to $D$, and our approach explores parts of $T_D$ for realizations in a way that is similar to the classical simplex algorithm. We also provide computational results illustrating the performance of our approach for different types of metrics, including $l_1$-distances and two-decomposable metrics for which it is provably possible to find optimal realizations in their tight spans.
