Minimum number of common edges of triangulations

Let $S$ and $T$ be two triangulations. We define $c(S,T)$ as the number of edges shared by $S$ and $T$. With this, we can define $f(n) = \min_{P} \min_{S,T} c(S,T)$. Here the first minimum goes over ...

References/applications/context for certain polytopes

First, let's consider an almost trivial notion. With any subspace $V\subset \mathbb R^n$ we associate a convex polytope $P(V)\subset V^*$ as follows. Each of the $n$ coordinates in $\mathbb R^n$ is a ...

Complexity of Random Delaunay Triangulation in 3D

My question: Is the number of cells in a three-dimensional Poisson-Delaunay triangulation with $n$ vertices $\mathcal O(n)$ with probability one? which is equivalent to the question Is the ...

Find a certain triangulation subordinate to a given covering of a manifold

Let $\{U_\alpha\}$ be a covering of a smooth manifold $M$. Replacing it by a refined covering if necessary, we may assume some good properties of it, like, (1) any intersection $\cap_{i=1}^k U_{\...

What properties does generalized Delaunay triangulation have?

Suppose that instead of the usual circle, we pick some other convex set D and make the Delaunay triangulation of a finite planar point set with respect to this set, i.e. connect two points if there is ...

Dehn-Sommerville relations for $\Delta$-complexes

Let $M$ be a closed, triangulated manifold of dimension $m$ and $K(M)$ be its triangulation. Let $f_i$ denote the number of $i$-simplices of $K(M)$. As proved by Klee the face numbers satisfy the ...
