Abstract

This will be the sequel to the talk given on 30th May (MPI 024, 16:15). The talk will be self contained and will not require attending the other talk.


In the other talk, (i.e. on 30th), I will prove a generalization of
Yannakakis' factorization theorem relating the complexity of any
Extended Formulation of a polytope P with the size of non-negative
factorization of the slack matrix of P.

In this talk I will provide some lower bounds on the size of
some polytopes like the perfect matching polytope and the TSP
polytope. The lower bounds for the latter answer a 20 year old open
question of Yannakakis
