We ask which degree sequences admit a unique realisation as a $3$-polytopal graph (polyhedron) on $p$ vertices. We give an exhaustive list of these sequences for the case where one degree equals $p-1$ and exactly two or three of them equal…
Polygon spaces have been studied extensively, and yet missing from the literature is a simple property that every polygon has: dimension. This is distinct (possibly) from the dimension of the ambient space in which the polygon lives. A…
Regular polygonal complexes in euclidean 3-space are discrete polyhedra-like structures with finite or infinite polygons as faces and with finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that their symmetry groups are transitive on the flags. The…
We prove that the regular octahedron has the minimal surface area among 3-polytopes of given volume and having at most six vertices.
The study of the graph diameter of polytopes is a classical open problem in polyhedral geometry and the theory of linear optimization. In this paper we continue the investigation initiated in [4] by introducing a vast hierarchy of…
The paper studies modular reduction techniques for abstract regular and chiral polytopes, with two purposes in mind: first, to survey the literature about modular reduction in polytopes; and second, to apply modular reduction, with moduli…
We investigate polyhedral $2k$-manifolds as subcomplexes of the boundary complex of a regular polytope. We call such a subcomplex {\it $k$-Hamiltonian} if it contains the full $k$-skeleton of the polytope. Since the case of the cube is well…
In this paper, we explore the geometry and the arithmetic of a family of polytopal sphere packings induced by regular polytopes in any dimension. We prove that every integral polytope is crystallographic, and we show that there are 11…
A polygonal complex in euclidean 3-space is a discrete polyhedron-like structure with finite or infinite polygons as faces and finite graphs as vertex-figures, such that a fixed number r of faces surround each edge. It is said to be regular…
We study approximations of polytopes in the standard model for computing polytopes using Minkowski sums and (convex hulls of) unions. Specifically, we study the ability to approximate a target polytope by polytopes of a given depth. Our…
This paper gives a partial confirmation of a conjecture of P. Agarwal, S. Har-Peled, M. Sharir, and K. Varadarajan that the total curvature of a shortest path on the boundary of a convex polyhedron in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space…
We give a bound on the spectral radius of subgraphs of regular graphs with given order and diameter. We give a lower bound on the smallest eigenvalue of a nonbipartite regular graph of given order and diameter.
Estimating the number of vertices of a two dimensional projection, called a shadow, of a polytope is a fundamental tool for understanding the performance of the shadow simplex method for linear programming among other applications. We prove…
We explore upper bounds on the covering radius of non-hollow lattice polytopes. In particular, we conjecture a general upper bound of $d/2$ in dimension $d$, achieved by the "standard terminal simplices" and direct sums of them. We prove…
In a d-simplex every facet is a (d-1)-simplex. We consider as generalized simplices other combinatorial classes of polytopes, all of whose facets are in the class. Cubes and multiplexes are two such classes of generalized simplices. In this…
A polytope is called {\em regular-faced} if every one of its facets is a regular polytope. The 4-dimensional regular-faced polytopes were determined by G. Blind and R. Blind \cite{BlBl2,roswitha,roswitha2}. The last class of such polytopes…
We find some bounds for the internal radii of stable and unstable manifolds of points in terms of their Lyapunov exponents under the assumption of the existence of a dominated splitting.
A polytope in a finite-dimensional normed space is subequilateral if the length in the norm of each of its edges equals its diameter. Subequilateral polytopes occur in the study of two unrelated subjects: surface energy minimizing cones and…
We determine the maximal hyperplane sections of the regular $n$-simplex, if the distance of the hyperplane to the centroid is fairly large, i.e. larger than the distance of the centroid to the midpoint of edges. Similar results for the…
We study two notions. One is that of spindle convexity. A set of circumradius not greater than one is spindle convex if, for any pair of its points, it contains every short circular arc of radius at least one, connecting them. The other…
