The combinatorics of interval vector polytopes (Q396835): Difference between revisions

Summary: An interval vector is a \((0,1)\)-vector in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) for which all the 1's appear consecutively, and an interval vector polytope is the convex hull of a set of interval vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). We study three particular classes of interval vector polytopes which exhibit interesting geometric-combinatorial structures; e.g., one class has volumes equal to the Catalan numbers, whereas another class has face numbers given by the Pascal 3-triangle.
