摘要:
It is well known that the permutahedron IIn has 2(n) - 2 facets. The Birkhoff polytope provides a symmetric extended formulation of IIn of size Theta(n(2)). Recently, Goemans described a non-symmetric extended formulation of IIn of size Theta(n log n). In this paper, we prove that Omega(n(2)) is a lower bound for the size of symmetric extended formulations of IIn. Moreover, we prove that the cardinality indicating polytope has the same tight lower bounds for the sizes of symmetric and nonsymmetric extended formulations as the permutahedron.
