Abstract: Graphs with circular symmetry, called webs, are relevant w.r.t. describing the stable set polytopes of two larger graph classes, quasi-line graphs [G. Giles, L.E. Trotter Jr., On stable set polyhedra for -free graphs, J. Combin. Theory B 31 (1981) 313–326; G. Oriolo, Clique family inequalities for the stable set polytope for quasi-line graphs, in: Stability Problems, Discrete Appl. Math. 132 (2003) 185–201 (special issue)] and claw-free graphs [A. Galluccio, A. Sassano, The rank facets of the stable set polytope for claw-free graphs, J. Combin. Theory B 69 (1997) 1–38; G. Giles, L.E. Trotter Jr., On stable set polyhedra for -free graphs, J. Combin. Theory B 31 (1981) 313–326]. Providing a decent linear description of the stable set polytopes of claw-free graphs is a long-standing problem [M. Grötschel, L. Lovász, A. Schrijver, Geometric Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization, Springer-Verlag, 1988]. However, even the problem of finding all facets of stable set polytopes of webs is open. So far, it is only known that stable set polytopes of webs with clique number have rank facets only [G. Dahl, Stable set polytopes for a class of circulant graphs, SIAM J. Optim. 9 (1999) 493–503; L.E. Trotter, Jr., A class of facet producing graphs for vertex packing polyhedra, Discrete Math. 12 (1975) 373–388] while there are examples with clique number having non-rank facets [J. Kind, Mobilitätsmodelle für zellulare Mobilfunknetze: Produktformen und Blockierung, Ph.D. Thesis, RWTH Aachen, 2000; T.M. Liebling, G. Oriolo, B. Spille, G. Stauffer, On non-rank facets of the stable set polytope of claw-free graphs and circulant graphs, Math. Methods Oper. Res. 59 (2004) 25; G. Oriolo, Clique family inequalities for the stable set polytope for quasi-line graphs, in: Stability Problems, Discrete Appl. Math. 132 (2003) 185–201 (special issue); A. Pêcher, A. Wagler, On non-rank facets of stable set polytopes of webs with clique number four, Discrete Appl. Math. 154 (2006) 1408–1415]. In this paper, we provide a construction for non-rank facets of stable set polytopes of webs. This construction is the main tool to obtain in a companion paper [A. Pêcher, A. Wagler, Almost all webs are not rank-perfect, Math. Program 105 (2006) 311–328], for all fixed values of that there are only finitely many webs with clique number whose stable set polytopes admit rank facets only. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
