Reflexive polytopes arising from edge polytopes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: It is known that every lattice polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a face of some reflexive polytope. A stronger question is to ask whether every (0,1)-polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a facet of some reflexive polytope. A large family of (0,1)-polytopes are the edge polytopes of finite simple graphs. In the present paper, it is shown that, by giving a new class of reflexive polytopes, each edge polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a facet of some reflexive polytope. Furthermore, we extend the characterization of normal edge polytopes to a characterization of normality for these new reflexive polytopes.
