Regular incidence complexes are combinatorial incidence structures generalizing regular convex polytopes, regular complex polytopes, various types of incidence geometries, and many other highly symmetric objects. The special case of…

The mathematical software system polymake provides a wide range of functions for convex polytopes, simplicial complexes, and other objects. A large part of this paper is dedicated to a tutorial which exemplifies the usage. Later sections…

We propose a new approach, named PolyMapper, to circumvent the conventional pixel-wise segmentation of (aerial) images and predict objects in a vector representation directly. PolyMapper directly extracts the topological map of a city from…

Polygraphs are a higher-dimensional generalization of the notion of directed graph. Based on those as unifying concept, this monograph on polygraphs revisits the theory of rewriting in the context of strict higher categories, adopting the…

This paper is about the combinatorics of finite point configurations in the tropical projective space or, dually, of arrangements of finitely many tropical hyperplanes. Moreover, arrangements of finitely many tropical halfspaces can be…

This paper develops a complete foundational treatment of simplicial complexes from Euclidean spaces through geometric realizations, emphasizing concrete computations, examples, and practical verification methods. Beginning with finite point…

We present two exact implementations of efficient output-sensitive algorithms that compute Minkowski sums of two convex polyhedra in 3D. We do not assume general position. Namely, we handle degenerate input, and produce exact results. We…

A method to visualize polytopes in a four dimensional euclidian space $(x,y,z,w)$ is proposed. A polytope is sliced by multiple hyperplanes that are parallel each other and separated by uniform intervals. Since the hyperplanes are…

Generalizing both mixed-integer linear optimization and convex optimization, mixed-integer convex optimization possesses broad modeling power but has seen relatively few advances in general-purpose solvers in recent years. In this paper, we…

polyDB is a database for discrete geometric objects. The database is accessible via web and an interface from the software package polymake. It contains various datasets from the area of lattice polytopes, combinatorial polytopes, matroids…

Bisztriczky defines a multiplex as a generalization of a simplex, and an ordinary polytope as a generalization of a cyclic polytope. This paper presents results concerning the combinatorics of multiplexes and ordinary polytopes. The flag…

Many coupled problems in engineering and science can be described by elliptic partial differential equations on adjacent domains, where the coupling can be considered either as a thin equidimensional overlap between the model domains, or as…

We elaborate on a general method that we recently introduced for characterizing the "natural" structures in complex physical systems via a multiscale network based approach for the data mining of such structures. The approach is based on…

Some basic mathematical tools such as convex sets, polytopes and combinatorial topology, are used quite heavily in applied fields such as geometric modeling, meshing, computer vision, medical imaging and robotics. This report may be viewed…

Multitriangulations, and more generally subword complexes, yield a large family of simplicial complexes that are homeomorphic to spheres. Until now, all attempts to prove or disprove that they can be realized as convex polytopes faced major…

We investigate the question of whether any $d$-colorable simplicial $d$-polytope can be octahedralized, i.e., it can be subdivided to a $d$-dimensional geometric cross-polytopal complex. We give a positive answer in dimension $3$, with the…

We provide fundamental results on positive solutions to parametrized systems of generalized polynomial $\textit{inequalities}$ (with real exponents and positive parameters), including generalized polynomial $\textit{equations}$. In doing…

Let P be a convex polytope not simple in general. In the focus of this paper lies a simplicial complex K_P which carries complete information about the combinatorial type of P. In the case when P is simple, K_P is the same as dP*, where P*…

We prove a generalization of the Expander Mixing Lemma for arbitrary (finite) simplicial complexes. The original lemma states that concentration of the Laplace spectrum of a graph implies combinatorial expansion (which is also referred to…

Computing mixed volume of convex polytopes is an important problem in computational algebraic geometry. This paper establishes sufficient conditions under which the mixed volume of several convex polytopes exactly equals the normalized…
