Abstract:
The hypermetric cone was defined in [9] and was extensively studied by Michel Deza
and his collaborators.
Another key interest of him was cut and metric polytope which he considered in his last works
in the case of graphs.
Here we combine both interest by considering the hypermetric on graphs. We define them for any
graph and give an algorithm for computing the extreme rays and facets of hypermetric cone on graphs.
We compute the hypermetric cone for the first non-trivial case of $K_7 - \{e\}$.
We also compute the hypermetric cone in the case of graphs with no $K_5$ minor.
Keywords:algebraic lattices, algebraic net, trigonometric sums of algebraic net with weights, weight functions.
