Deficiency graphs arise in the problem of decomposing a tropical vector
into a sum of points of a given tropical variety.
We give an application of this concept to the theory of extended
formulations of convex polytopes, and we show that the chromatic number
of the deficiency graph of a special tropical matrix is a lower bound
for the extension complexity of the corresponding convex polytope.
We compare our new lower bound for extended formulations with existing
estimates and make several conjectures on the relations between
deficiency graphs, extended formulations, and rank functions of tropical
matrices.
Keywords:
convex polytope, extended formulation, tropical mathematics.
