The polytope of dual degree partitions Original Research Article

We determine the extreme points and facets of the convex hull of all dual degree partitions of simple graphs on n vertices. (This problem was raised in the Laplace Energy group of the Workshop Spectra of Families of Matrices described by Graphs, Digraphs, and Sign Patterns held at the American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center on October 23–27, 2006 [R. Brualdi, Leslie Hogben, Brian Shader, AIM Workshop – Spectra of Families of Matrices Described by Graphs, Digraphs, and Sign Patterns, Final Report: Mathematical Results, November 17, 2006].)
