Every generic linear functional $f$ on a convex polytope $P$ orients the edges of the graph of $P$. In this directed graph one can define a notion of $f$-arborescence and $f$-monotone path on $P$. Additionally, a natural notion of adjacency between pairs of $f$-monotone paths gives us the so called flip graph of $f$-monotone paths. These concepts are of importance in geometric combinatorics and optimization. We investigate the extreme values of the number of $f$-arborescences, the number of \$f…

### Enumerative problems for arborescences and monotone paths on polytope graphs

• Mathematics
J. Graph Theory
• 2022
The number of f-arborescence and f-monotone paths, the number of vertices or facets of the graph of f, and the diameter of theGraph of f for polytopes P are bounds in terms of their dimension and number of vertex set.

### Graph of uv-paths in 2-connected graphs

For a 2-connected graph G and vertices u, v of G we define an abstract graph P(Guv) whose vertices are the paths joining u and v in G, where paths S and T are adjacent if T is obtained from S by

Abstract Monotone paths on zonotopes and the natural generalization to maximal chains in the poset of topes of an oriented matroid or arrangement of pseudo-hyperplanes are studied with respect to a

Abstract. We investigate the vertex-connectivity of the graph of f-monotone paths on a d-polytopeP with respect to a generic functionalf. The third author has conjectured that this graph is always (d

### Diameter and Coherence of Monotone Path Graphs in Low Corank

A Zonotope Z is the linear projection of an n-cube into R. Given a generic linear function f , an f monotone path on Z is a path along edges from the f -minimizing vertex −z to its opposite vertex z.

This work shows that combinatorial cubes have monotone and Bland pivot height bounded by their dimension and that in fact all monot one paths of zonotopes are no larger than the number of edge directions of the zonOTope, and shows that several polytopes have polynomial-size pivot height, for all pivot rules.

For each fixed d -polytope and any acyclic orientation of its graph, it is proved there exist both convex and concave functions that induce the given orientation.
