Abstract

Consider a {0, 1} assignment matrix where each column contains exactly one coefficient equal to 1 and let h be the index of the lowest row that is not identically equal to the zero row.We give a full description of the convex hull of all feasible assignments appended with the extra parameter h. This polytope and some of its variants naturally appear in the context of several combinatorial optimization problems including frequency assignment, job scheduling, graph orientation, maximum clique, etc. We also show that the underlying separation problems are solvable in polynomial time and thus optimization over those polytopes can be done in polynomial time.
