چکیده
We introduce a large self-dual class of simplicial complexes about which we show that each complex in it is contractible or homotopy equivalent to a sphere. Examples of complexes in this class include independence and dominance complexes of forests, pointed simplicial complexes, and their combinatorial Alexander duals.

متن کاملInverse topology in BL-algebras
In this paper, we introduce Inverse topology in a BL-algebra A and prove the set of all minimal prime filters of A, namely Min(A) with the Inverse topology is a compact space, Hausdorff, T0 and T1-Space. Then, we show that Zariski topology on Min(A) is finer than the Inverse topology on Min(A). Then, we investigate what conditions may result in the equivalence of these two topologies. Finally,...
متن کاملEFFICIENT SIMULATION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF TOPOLOGY, SHAPE AND SIZE OF MODULAR TRUSS STRUCTURES
The prevalent strategy in the topology optimization phase is to select a subset of members existing in an excessively connected truss, called Ground Structure, such that the overall weight or cost is minimized. Although finding a good topology significantly reduces the overall cost, excessive growth of the size of topology space combined with existence of varied types of design variables challe...
متن کاملTopology Optimization of the Thickness Profile of Bimorph Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Devices
Due to developments in additive manufacturing, the production of piezoelectric materials with complex geometries is becoming viable and enabling the manufacturing of thicker harvesters. Therefore, in this study a piezoelectric harvesting device is modelled as a bimorph cantilever beam with a series connection and an intermediate metallic substrate using the plain strain hypothesis. On the other...
متن کاملConstruction of Hexahedral Block Topology and its Decomposition to Generate Initial Tetrahedral Grids for Aerodynamic Applications
Making an initial tetrahedral grid for complex geometry can be a tedious and time consuming task. This paper describes a novel procedure for generation of starting tetrahedral cells using hexahedral block topology. Hexahedral blocks are arranged around an aerodynamic body to form a flow domain. Each of the hexahedral blocks is then decomposed into six tetrahedral elements to obtain an initial t...
