  • Abstract
    We compute the exact fractional chromatic number for several classes of monotone self-dual Boolean functions. We characterize monotone self-dual Boolean functions in terms of the optimal value of an LP relaxation of a suitable strengthening of the standard IP formulation for the chromatic number. We also show that determining the self-duality of a monotone Boolean function is equivalent to determining the feasibility of a certain point in a polytope defined implicitly.
