Abstract

In this article, we review the relationship between Bell inequality and its associated polytopes and introduce a method to extend Bell inequalities to more parties. According to this method, the Bell inequality in n parties can be extended to n + 1 parties. Such generalization is nontrivial in that there is stronger violation for new inequalities.
