By keyword

centered

A polytope is centered if the origin is contained in the interior of \conv V\v for all v in V

centrally-symmetric

cube(d)


diameter

Diameter is used in two different senses. In the metric sense, it means the length of the longest line segment between points in a set (see e.g. ). In the combinatorial sense, it is used to mean the length of the longest path in the skeleton of a polytope, or of a graph in general. See also ridge-diameter.

q4


dwarfed

A polytope P is called dwarfed if (P) = (Q) \union h+ where f0(P) << f0(Q)

dwarfcube(d)


equidecomposable

A polytope is called equidecomposable if every triangulation has the same f-vector

prodcyclic(d,n) , prodsumcube(d) , prodsumpolygon(d,n)


facet-degenerate

(some) facets contain more than d vertices, i.e. not simplicial.

cyclic(n,d) , sumcube(d) , sumpolygon(d,n)


incremental

Incremental algorithms for e.g. facet-enumeration proceed by adding the input points one by one, updating the list of facet-defining inequalities for the current intermediate polytope at each step. See also double-description and Fourier-Motzkin elimination

piercecube(d) , prodcyclic(d,n) , prodsumcube(d) , prodsumpolygon(d,n)


neighbourly

each k < floor(d/2) vertices forms a face.

cyclic(n,d)


ridge-diameter

The diameter (in the graph theoretic sense) of the dual polytope.

metric(n)


simple

Exactly d facets intersect at each vertex.

simplicial

Exactly d vertices on each facet.

centergon(n) , cyclic(n,d) , simplex(d)


triangle-free

P has no triangular 2-face.

cube(d)


triangulation

A dissection of a polytope into simplices such that any pair intersect in a (possibly empty) face.

truncationpolytope

dwarfcube(d) , simplex(d)


vertex-degenerate

(some) vertices are contained in more than d facets, i.e. not simple. See also facet-degenerate.

cube(d)


zero-one

A polytope is called zero-one if every vertex coordinate has one exactly two values (e.g. 0 or 1).

zonotope

A zonotope is the minkowski sum of a set of vectors.
