Non-idealness conjecture for sufficiently wise-intersecting clutters
Non-idealness conjecture for sufficiently wise-intersecting clutters
A clutter is a family of sets none of which contains another. It is -wise intersecting if every subset of at most members has a common element, yet no element belongs to all members. It is ideal if its primal covering linear program has an integral optimum for every integral nonnegative cost vector.
Non-idealness conjecture. There exists an integer such that every -wise intersecting clutter is non-ideal.
Intersecting clutters can nevertheless be ideal, so the conjecture predicts that sufficiently strong finite-wise intersection forces non-idealness. The source further conjectures that suffices; the claim is presented as open.
