The bipartite-complement conjecture for extremal edge polytopes

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let GG be a finite simple graph in Ωd\Omega_d attaining the maximum number of edges of its edge polytope, so that μd=ε(G)\mu_d=\varepsilon(G).

Bipartite-complement conjecture. The complement of GG is a bipartite graph.

This conjecture proposes a structural description of graphs maximizing the number of edges of an edge polytope. The preceding theorem shows that complete graphs are extremal for 3≤d≤133\leq d\leq13, while for d≥15d\geq15 some graphs have more edge-polytope edges than the complete graph; determining the exact maximum and an extremal graph remains unsolved for d≥15d\geq15.
