Abstract Let P1, …, Pn and Q1, …, Qn be convex polytopes in ℝn with Pi ⊆ Qi. It is well-known that the mixed volume is monotone: V(P1, …, Pn) ≤ V(Q1, …, Qn). We give two criteria for when this inequality is strict in terms of essential collections of faces as well as mixed polyhedral subdivisions. This geometric result allows us to characterize sparse polynomial systems with Newton polytopes P1, …, Pn whose number of isolated solutions equals the normalized volume of the convex hull of P1 ∪ … ∪ Pn. In addition, we obtain an analog of Cramer’s rule for sparse polynomial systems.
