Polytopes | Real algebraic geometry

Polytope

In elementary geometry, a polytope is a geometric object with flat sides (faces). Polytopes are the generalization of three-dimensional polyhedra to any number of dimensions. Polytopes may exist in any general number of dimensions n as an n-dimensional polytope or n-polytope. For example, a two-dimensional polygon is a 2-polytope and a three-dimensional polyhedron is a 3-polytope. In this context, "flat sides" means that the sides of a (k + 1)-polytope consist of k-polytopes that may have (k – 1)-polytopes in common. Some theories further generalize the idea to include such objects as unbounded apeirotopes and tessellations, decompositions or tilings of curved manifolds including spherical polyhedra, and set-theoretic abstract polytopes. Polytopes of more than three dimensions were first discovered by Ludwig Schläfli before 1853, who called such a figure a polyschem. The German term polytop was coined by the mathematician Reinhold Hoppe, and was introduced to English mathematicians as polytope by Alicia Boole Stott. (Wikipedia).

What is a polygon and what is a non example of a one

👉 Learn about polygons and how to classify them. A polygon is a plane shape bounded by a finite chain of straight lines. A polygon can be concave or convex and it can also be regular or irregular. A concave polygon is a polygon in which at least one of its interior angles is greater than 1

Stephan Weltge: Binary scalar products

We settle a conjecture by Bohn, Faenza, Fiorini, Fisikopoulos, Macchia, and Pashkovich (2015) concerning 2-level polytopes. Such polytopes have the property that for every facet-defining hyperplane H there is a parallel hyperplane H0 such that H and H0 contain all vertices. The authors con

Raman Sanyal: Polyhedral geometry of pivot rules

Geometrically, a linear program gives rise to a polyhedron together with an orientation of its graph. A simplex method selects a path from any given vertex to the sink and thus determines an arborescence. The centerpiece of any simplex method is the pivot rule that selects the outgoing edg

Steffen Borgwardt: The role of partition polytopes in data analysis

The field of optimization, and polyhedral theory in particular, provides a powerful point of view on common tasks in data analysis. In this talk, we highlight the role of the so-called partition polytopes and their studies in clustering and classification. The geometric properties of parti
