The Demyanov-Ryabova conjecture is false

arXiv:1803.05614

Abstract

It was conjectured by Vladimir Demyanov and Julia Ryabova in 2011 that the minimal cycle in the sequence obtained via repeated application of Demyanov converter to a finite family of polytopes is at most two. We construct a counterexample for which the minimal cycle has length 4.
