CONE OF SPARSE f-VECTORS OF HALF-EULERIAN POSETS OF RANK 3 Extreme rays, given by interval systems: (1): empty family (2): [1,2] Sparse flag f-vectors The entries f(S) in the sparse flag vector are represented by variables xi as follows: x1 = f(emptyset) x2 = f(1) Sparse flag f-vectors of extremes: ( 1) 1 1 ( 2) 0 1 Inequalities for the cone: (F 1) -x1 <= 0 (F 2) +x1-x2 <= 0 Strong validity table. A * in row i and column j indicates that extreme (j) lies on the facet given by inequality (F i). The right-most column gives the number of extremes on each facet. The bottom two rows, read vertically, give the number of facets containing each extreme. \ P | | \ O | | I \ I | | N \ N | 1 | # E \ T | | Q \ S | | S \ | | \ | | ------------------ 1 | .* : 1 2 | *. : 1 ........ # | 11
