Voronoi conjectured that any parallelotope is affinely equivalent to a Voronoi polytope. A parallelotope is defined by a set of $m$ facet vectors $p_i$ and defines a set of $m$ lattice vectors $t_i$, $1\le i\le m$. We show that Voronoi's…

A parallelotope $P$ is a polytope that admits a facet-to-facet tiling of space by translation copies of $P$ along a lattice. The Voronoi cell $P_V(L)$ of a lattice $L$ is an example of a parallelotope. A parallelotope can be uniquely…

Let $I$ be a segment in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb E^d$. Let $P$ and $P+I$ be parallelohedra in $\mathbb E^d$, where "+" denotes the Minkowski sum. We prove that Voronoi's Conjecture holds for $P+I$, i.e. $P+I$ is a…

There are several works \cite{De} (and \cite{St}), \cite{En}, \cite{Co} and \cite{Va} enumerating four-dimensional parallelotopes. In this work we give a new enumeration showing that any four-dimensional parallelotope is either a zonotope…

A parallelotope is a polytope whose translation copies fill space without gaps and intersections by interior points. Voronoi conjectured that each parallelotope is an affine image of the Dirichlet domain of a lattice, which is a Voronoi…

This article proves the Voronoi conjecture on parallelotopes in the special case of 3-irreducible tilings. Parallelotopes are convex polytopes which tile the Euclidean space by their translated copies, like in the honeycomb arrangement of…

In a recent paper Garber, Gavrilyuk and Magazinov proposed a sufficient combinatorial condition for a parallelohedron to be affinely Voronoi. We show that this condition holds for all five-dimensional Voronoi parallelohedra. Consequently,…

The Voronoi conjecture on parallelohedra claims that for every convex polytope $P$ that tiles Euclidean $d$-dimensional space with translations there exists a $d$-dimensional lattice such that $P$ and the Voronoi polytope of this lattice…

Voronoi defined two polyhedral partitions of the cone of se\mi\de\fi\nite forms into L-type domains and into perfect domains. Up to equivalence, there is only one domain that is simultaneously perfect and L-type. Voronoi called this domain…

Minkowski sums cover a wide range of applications in many different fields like algebra, morphing, robotics, mechanical CAD/CAM systems ... This paper deals with sums of polytopes in a n dimensional space provided that both H-representation…

We show that the Voronoi conjecture is true for parallelohedra with simply connected $\delta$-surface. Namely, we show that if the boundary of parallelohedron $P$ remains simply connected after removing closed non-primitive faces of…

We investigate how the Minkowski sum of two polytopes affects their graph and, in particular, their diameter. We show that the diameter of the Minkowski sum is bounded below by the diameter of each summand and above by, roughly, the product…

Minkowski sums are of theoretical interest and have applications in fields related to industrial backgrounds. In this paper we focus on the specific case of summing polytopes as we want to solve the tolerance analysis problem described in…

For finite sets A and B in the plane, we write A+B to denote the set of sums of the elements of A and B. In addition, we write tr(A) to denote the common number of triangles in any triangulation of the convex hull of A using the points of A…

We show that every four-dimensional parallelohedron P satisfies a recently found condition of Garber, Gavrilyuk & Magazinov sufficient for the Voronoi conjecture being true for P. Namely we show that for every four-dimensional…

For every pattern $P$, consisting of a finite set of points in the plane, $S_{P}(n,m)$ is defined as the largest number of similar copies of $P$ among sets of $n$ points in the plane without $m$ points on a line. A general construction,…

We propose a method to efficiently compute the Minkowski sum, denoted by binary operator $\oplus$ in the paper, of convex polytopes in $\Re^d$ using their face lattice structures as input. In plane, the Minkowski sum of convex polygons can…

For a polytope we define the {\em flag polynomial}, a polynomial in commuting variables related to the well-known flag vector and describe how to express the the flag polynomial of the Minkowski sum of $k$ standard simplices in a direct and…

We prove the Voronoi conjecture for five-dimensional parallelohedra. Namely, we show that if a convex five-dimensional polytope $P$ tiles $\mathbb R^5$ with translations, then $P$ is an affine image of the Dirichlet-Voronoi polytope for a…

The Voronoi diagram is a certain geometric data structure which has numerous applications in various scientific and technological fields. The theory of algorithms for computing 2D Euclidean Voronoi diagrams of point sites is rich and…
