Resumo:In this paper we study some geometrical questions about the polytope of bi-capacities. For this, we introduce the concept of pointed order polytope, a natural generalization of order polytopes. Basically, a pointed order polytope is a polytope that takes advantage of the order relation of a partially ordered set and such that there is a relevant element in the structure. We study which are the set of vertices of pointed order polytopes and sort out a simple way to determine whether two vertices are adjacent. We also study the general form of its faces. Next, we show that the set of bi-capacities is a special case of pointed order polytope. Then, we apply the results obtained for general pointed order polytopes for bi-capacities, allowing to characterize vertices and adjacency, and obtaining a bound for the diameter of this important polytope arising in Multicriteria Decision Making.
