Abstract
A facial structure of the node packing polytope, i.e., of the convex hull of integer solutions of the node packing problem, on hypergraphs is studied. First, the results extracted by Chvàtal and by Balas and Zemel on canonical facets of the node packing polytopes on graphs are generalized to derive some specific hypergraphs having canonical facets. Second, it is shown that the facial structure of the node packing polytope on a hypergraph, named a fat graph, has a very close relationship to the facial structures of the node packing polytope and also of the convex hull of integer solutions of an integer linear program, which are defined on a specific graph corresponding to the fat graph.
