The lower and upper bound problems for cubical polytopes (Q1209839)

Recall that a cubical polytope is a polytope whose all facets are combinatorial cubes. The author presents a family of cubical polytopes for which the number of facets is very large in comparison to the number of vertices. The number is higher than a number conjectured by Kalai, Perles and Stanley. He also constructs a family of cubical polytopes with a small number of facets and formulates a lower bound conjecture for the number of facets of a cubical polytope.
