In this article we prove a formula for the volume of 4-dimensional polytopes, in terms of their face bivectors, and the crossings within their boundary graph. This proves that the volume is an invariant of bivector-coloured graphs in $S^3$.

The volume of a Meissner polyhedron is computed in terms of the lengths of its dual edges. This allows to reformulate the Meissner conjecture regarding constant width bodies with minimal volume as a series of explicit finite dimensional…

The Fourier transforms of polyhedral cones can be used, via Brion's theorem, to compute various geometric quantities of polytopes, such as volumes, moments, and lattice-point counts. We present a novel method of computing these conic…

We use machine learning to predict the dimension of a lattice polytope directly from its Ehrhart series. This is highly effective, achieving almost 100% accuracy. We also use machine learning to recover the volume of a lattice polytope from…

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…

We study the harmonic polytope, which arose in Ardila, Denham, and Huh's work on the Lagrangian geometry of matroids. We describe its combinatorial structure, showing that it is a $(2n-2)$-dimensional polytope with…

We propose new algorithms for topic modeling when the number of topics is unknown. Our approach relies on an analysis of the concentration of mass and angular geometry of the topic simplex, a convex polytope constructed by taking the convex…

Short and transparent proofs of central limit theorems for intrinsic volumes of random polytopes in smooth convex bodies are presented. They combine different tools such as estimates for floating bodies with Stein's method from probability…

We develop a new algorithm for factoring a bivariate polynomial $F\in \mathbb{K}[x,y]$ which takes fully advantage of the geometry of the Newton polygon of $F$. Under a non degeneracy hypothesis, the complexity is…

We present two algorithms that compute the Newton polytope of a polynomial defining a hypersurface H in C^n using numerical computation. The first algorithm assumes that we may only compute values of f - this may occur if f is given as a…

Although shape correspondence is a central problem in geometry processing, most methods for this task apply only to two-dimensional surfaces. The neglected task of volumetric correspondence--a natural extension relevant to shapes extracted…

In spite of considerable progress, computing curvature in Volume of Fluid (VOF) methods continues to be a challenge. The goal is to develop a function or a subroutine that returns the curvature in computational cells containing an interface…

We prove that every indefinite quadratic form with non-negative integer coefficients is the volume polynomial of a pair of lattice polygons. This solves the discrete version of the Heine-Shephard problem for two bodies in the plane. As an…

Let $P$ be a bounded polyhedron defined as the intersection of the non-negative orthant ${\Bbb R}^n_+$ and an affine subspace of codimension $m$ in ${\Bbb R}^n$. We show that a simple and computationally efficient formula approximates the…

Decomposition of shapes into (approximate) convex parts is essential for applications such as part-based shape representation, shape matching, and collision detection. In this paper, we propose a novel convex decomposition using a…

In general dimension, there is no known total polynomial algorithm for either convex hull or vertex enumeration, i.e. an algorithm whose complexity depends polynomially on the input and output sizes. It is thus important to identify…

We prove that each bounded polytope can be represented as a polynomial zonotope, which we refer to as the Z-representation of polytopes. Previous representations are the vertex representation (V-representation) and the halfspace…

Available algorithms for the initialization of volume fractions typically utilize exact functions to model fluid interfaces, or they rely on computationally costly intersections between volume meshes. Here, a new algorithm is proposed that…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. A Steiner convex partition is a tiling of ${\rm conv}(S)$ with empty convex bodies. For every integer $d$, we show that $S$ admits a Steiner convex partition with at most $\lceil…

In this paper, we consider the volume of a special kind of flow polytope. We show that its volume satisfies a certain system of differential equations, and conversely, the solution of the system of differential equations is unique up to a…
