Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 947-964, March 2024. Abstract. We show that the eigenpolytopes of graphs are universal in the sense that every polytope, up to affine equivalence, appears as the eigenpolytope of some positively weighted graph. We next extend the theory of graphical designs, which are quadrature rules for graphs, to positively weighted graphs. Through Gale duality for polytopes, we show a bijection between graphical designs and the faces of eigenpolytopes. This bijection proves the existence of graphical designs with positive quadrature weights and upper bounds the size of a minimal graphical design. Connecting this bijection with the universality of eigenpolytopes, we establish three complexity results: It is strongly NP-complete to determine if there is a graphical design smaller than the mentioned upper bound, it is NP-hard to find a smallest graphical design, and it is #P-complete to count the number of minimal graphical designs.
期刊介绍：
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
