On a Hadwiger-Wills inequality concerning lattice points.
Let X be a set, κ be a cardinal number and let ℋ be a family of subsets of X which covers each x ∈ X at least κ-fold. What assumptions can ensure that ℋ can be decomposed into κ many disjoint subcovers? We examine this problem under various assumptions on the set X and on the cover ℋ: among other situations, we consider covers of topological spaces by closed sets, interval covers of linearly ordered sets and covers of ℝⁿ by polyhedra and by arbitrary convex sets. We focus on...
Let pi: P --> Q be an affine projection map between two polytopes P and Q. Billera and Sturmfels introduced in 1992 the concept of polyhedral subdivisions of Q induced by pi (or pi-induced) and the fiber polytope of the projection: a polytope Sygma(P,pi) of dimension dim(P)-dim(Q) whose faces are in correspondence with the coherent pi-induced subdivisions (or pi-coherent subdivisions). In this paper we investigate the structure of the poset of pi-induced refinements of a pi-induced subdivision....
On définit plusieurs opérades différentielles graduées, dont certaines en relation avec des familles de polytopes : les simplexes et les permutoèdres. On obtient également une présentation de l’opérade liée aux associaèdres introduite dans un article antérieur.
