Polytopes Abstract, Convex and Computational / edited by Tibor Bisztriczky, Peter McMullen, Rolf Schneider, Asia Ivic Weiss.

The aim of this volume is to reinforce the interaction between the three main branches (abstract, convex and computational) of the theory of polytopes. The articles include contributions from many of the leading experts in the field, and their topics of concern are expositions of recent results and...
