Talk:Link (simplicial complex)

Untitled

I'm having trouble understanding the definition. What is the "corner" of a 2-cell? I'm familiar with cell complexes, so I believe what the author of the stub intended was a more specific kind of complex, such as a simplicial complex. In fact, I believe the definition of link intended here is that of a simplicial link. It's not a notion that's particular to graph theory by any means, so the more general notion of simplicial link should be explained and the article moved to something like link (simplicial complex). --C S (Talk) 08:28, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think you're right. I understand them better now, than when I started this article. Perhaps the best complexes to talk about are polygonal complexes (but are they simplicial complexes anyway)? I'm going to attempt an overhaul of this article. msgj (talk) 17:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Article title

I think this article should be given a more specific title. MathWorld defines a link (in this context) as merely the edge of a graph. Guillemin uses the term for graph edges that have been removed to form a tree. Neither of these corresponds, as far as I can tell, to the subject of this article.

Link of vertex = vertex figure?

Karim Adiprasito and Jose Alejandro (in article The Lower Bound Theorem for polytopes that approximate C¹-convex bodies) wrote: The link of a vertex is sometimes called a vertex figure.

There is article Vertex figure on WikipadiA. So, why we have two difeerent articles about the same thing? Jumpow (talk) 14:20, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
