Namely, the special shape of their f-vectors makes them applicable to certain constructions to present non-unimodal convex polytopes. Nevertheless, the f-vectors of cyclic polytopes themselves are unimodal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-25T16:55:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A10", "52B11" ], "keywords": [ "cyclic polytopes", "unimodality", "upper bound theorem", "non-unimodal convex polytopes", "extremal property" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1106.4597M" } } }
