Associahedra Minimize F-Vectors of Secondary Polytopes of Planar Point Sets
摘要
Kupavskii, Volostnov, and Yarovikov have recently shown that any set of n points in general position in the plane has at least as many (partial) triangulations as the convex n-gon. We generalize this in two directions: we show that regular triangulations are enough, and we extend the result to all regular subdivisions, graded by the dimension of their corresponding face in the secondary polytope.
