Counting d-polytopes with d+3 vertices

摘要

We completely solve the problem of enumerating combinatorially inequivalent dd-dimensional polytopes with d+3d+3 vertices. A first solution of this problem, by Lloyd, was published in 1970. But the obtained counting formula was not correct, as pointed out in the new edition of Gr\"unbaum's book. We both correct the mistake of Lloyd and propose a more detailed and self-contained solution, relying on similar preliminaries but using then a different enumeration method involving automata. In addition, we introduce and solve the problem of counting oriented and achiral (i.e. stable under reflection) dd-polytopes with d+3d+3 vertices. The complexity of computing tables of coefficients of a given size is then analyzed. Finally, we derive precise asymptotic formulas for the numbers of dd-polytopes, oriented dd-polytopes and achiral dd-polytopes with d+3d+3 vertices. This refines a first asymptotic estimate given by Perles.
