Abstract: A square-free monomial ideal I of k[x1,ldots,xn] is said to be an f-ideal if the facet complex and non-face complex associated with I have the same f-vector. We show that I is an f-ideal if and only if its Newton complementary dual widehatI is also an f-ideal. Because of this duality, previous results about some classes of f-ideals can be extended to a much larger class of f-ideals. An interesting by-product of our work is an alternative formulation of the Kruskal-Katona theorem for f-vectors of simplicial complexes.
