Belt distance between facets of space-filling zonotopes

To every d-dimensional polytope P with centrally symmetric facets one can assign a “subway map” such that every line of this “subway” contains exactly the facets parallel to one of the ridges of P. The belt diameter of P is the maximum number of subway lines one needs to use to get from one facet to another. We prove that the belt diameter of a d-dimensional space-filling zonotope does not exceed ⌈log2(4/5)d⌉.

Convex polytope

A convex polytope is a special case of a polytope, having the additional property that it is also a convex set contained in the -dimensional Euclidean space . Most texts use the term "polytope" for a bounded convex polytope, and the word "polyhedron" for the more general, possibly unbounded object. Others (including this article) allow polytopes to be unbounded. The terms "bounded/unbounded convex polytope" will be used below whenever the boundedness is critical to the discussed issue.

4-polytope

En géométrie, un 4-polytope (fréquemment appelé également un polychore) est un polytope de l'espace à quatre dimensions. C'est une figure connexe, composée d'un nombre fini de polytopes de dimension inférieure : des sommets, des arêtes, des faces (qui sont des polygones), et des cellules (qui sont des polyèdres), chaque face appartenant à exactement deux cellules. Le 4-polytope le plus connu est le tesseract (ou hypercube), analogue en 4D du cube. La définition des 4-polytopes varie beaucoup selon les auteurs.

5-polytope

In geometry, a five-dimensional polytope (or 5-polytope) is a polytope in five-dimensional space, bounded by (4-polytope) facets, pairs of which share a polyhedral cell. A 5-polytope is a closed five-dimensional figure with vertices, edges, faces, and cells, and 4-faces. A vertex is a point where five or more edges meet. An edge is a line segment where four or more faces meet, and a face is a polygon where three or more cells meet. A cell is a polyhedron, and a 4-face is a 4-polytope.

Safe Motion Planning against Multimodal Distributions Based on a Scenario Approach

Maryam Kamgarpour, Chen Chen

We present the design of a motion planning algorithm that ensures safety for an autonomous vehicle. In particular, we consider a multimodal distribution over uncertainties; for example, the uncertain predictions of future trajectories of surrounding vehicl ...

2022

We introduce a novel intrinsic volume concept in tropical geometry. This is achieved by developing the foundations of a tropical analog of lattice point counting in polytopes. We exhibit the basic properties and compare it to existing measures. Our exposit ...

Extended Formulations from Communication Protocols in Output-Efficient Time

Yuri Faenza, Manuel Francesco Aprile

Deterministic protocols are well-known tools to obtain extended formulations, with many applications to polytopes arising in combinatorial optimization. Although constructive, those tools are not output-efficient, since the time needed to produce the exten ...
