Nonrevisiting Paths on Surfaces
AbstraeL The nonrevisiting path conjecture for polytopes, which is equivalent to the Hirsch conjecture, is open. However, for surfaces, the nonrevisiting path conjecture is known to be true for polyhedral maps on the sphere, projective plane, toms, and a Klein bottle. Barnette has provided counterexamples on the orientable surface of genus 8 and nonorientable surface of genus 16. In this note t...
متن کاملLong Monotone Paths on Simple 4-polytopes
TheMonotone Upper Bound Problem (Klee, 1965) asks if the numberM(d, n) of vertices in a monotone path along edges of a d-dimensional polytope with n facets can be as large as conceivably possible: Is M(d, n) = Mubt(d, n), the maximal number of vertices that a d-polytope with n facets can have according to the Upper Bound Theorem? We show that in dimension d = 4, the answer is “yes”, despite the...
متن کاملMonotone paths on polytopes
We investigate the vertex-connectivity of the graph of f -monotone paths on a d-polytope P with respect to a generic functional f . The third author has conjectured that this graph is always (d − 1)-connected. We resolve this conjecture positively for simple polytopes and show that the graph is 2-connected for any d-polytope with d ≥ 3. However, we disprove the conjecture in general by exhibiti...
متن کاملSingle-Point Visibility Constraint Minimum Link Paths in Simple Polygons
We address the following problem: Given a simple polygon $P$ with $n$ vertices and two points $s$ and $t$ inside it, find a minimum link path between them such that a given target point $q$ is visible from at least one point on the path. The method is based on partitioning a portion of $P$ into a number of faces of equal link distance from a source point. This partitioning is essentially a shor...
متن کاملComputing Disjoint Paths on Polytopes
The Holt-Klee Condition states that there exist at least d vertex-disjoint strictly monotone paths from the source to the sink of a polytopal digraph consisting of the set of vertices and arcs of a polytope P directed by a linear objective function in general position. Studying these paths has the potential to provide new insight into a long standing problem, that of designing a polynomial-time...
