Vertex Configurations and Their Relationship on Orthogonal Pseudo-Polyhedra

چکیده

Vertex configuration for a vertex in an orthogonal pseudo-polyhedron is an identity of a vertex that is determined by the number of edges, dihedral angles, and non-manifold properties meeting at the vertex. There are up to sixteen vertex configurations for any orthogonal pseudo-polyhedron (OPP). Understanding the relationship between these vertex configurations will give us insight into the structure of an OPP and help us design better algorithms for many 3-dimensional geometric problems. In this paper, 16 vertex configurations for OPP are described first. This is followed by a number of formulas giving insight into the relationship between different vertex configurations in an OPP. These formulas will be useful as an extension of orthogonal polyhedra usefulness on pattern analysis in 3D-digital images. Keywords—Orthogonal Pseudo Polyhedra, Vertex configuration

Modelling Decision Problems Via Birkhoff Polyhedra

A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...

Steinitz Theorems for Simple Orthogonal Polyhedra

We define a simple orthogonal polyhedron to be a three-dimensional polyhedron with the topology of a sphere in which three mutually-perpendicular edges meet at each vertex. By analogy to Steinitz’s theorem characterizing the graphs of convex polyhedra, we find graph-theoretic characterizations of three classes of simple orthogonal polyhedra: corner polyhedra, which can be drawn by isometric pro...

When can a graph form an orthogonal polyhedron?

Polyhedra are an important basic structure in computational geometry. One of the most beautiful results concerning polyhedra is Cauchy’s theorem, which states that a convex polyhedron is uniquely defined by its graph, edge lengths and facial angles. (See Section 2 for definitions.) The proof of Cauchy’s theorem (see e.g. [2]) unfortunately is nonconstructive, and the only known algorithm to rec...

Grid Vertex-Unfolding Orthogonal Polyhedra

An edge-unfolding of a polyhedron is produced by cutting along edges and flattening the faces to a net, a connected planar piece with no overlaps. A grid unfolding allows additional cuts along grid edges induced by coordinate planes passing through every vertex. A vertexunfolding permits faces in the net to be connected at single vertices, not necessarily along edges. We show that any orthogona...
