%0 Journal Article %T Number of vertices in Gelfand-Zetlin polytopes %A Pavel Gusev %A Valentina Kiritchenko %A Vladlen Timorin %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X We discuss the problem of counting vertices in Gelfand-Zetlin polytopes. Namely, we deduce a partial differential equation with constant coefficients on the exponential generating function for these numbers. For some particular classes of Gelfand-Zetlin polytopes, the number of vertices can be given by explicit formulas. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.6336v1
