vertex of a polyhedron
1Vertex configuration — In polyhedral geometry a vertex configuration is a short hand notation for representing a polyhedron vertex figure as the sequence of faces around a vertex. For uniform polyhedra there is only one vertex type and therefore the vertex… …
2Vertex figure — In geometry a vertex figure is, broadly speaking, the figure exposed when a corner of a polyhedron or polytope is sliced off. Definitions theme and variationsTake some vertex of a polyhedron. Mark a point somewhere along each connected edge. Draw …
3Vertex (geometry) — For vertices in the geometry of curves, see Vertex (curve). For other uses of the word, see Vertex (disambiguation). In geometry, a vertex (plural vertices) is a special kind of point that describes the corners or intersections of geometric… …
4Vertex (graph theory) — For other uses, see Vertex (disambiguation). A graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges where the vertex number 6 on the far left is a leaf vertex or a pendant vertex In graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit out of… …
5Vertex arrangement — See vertex figure for the local description of faces around a vertex of a polyhedron or tiling. In geometry, a vertex arrangement is a set of points in space described by their relative positions. They can be described by their use in… …
6Vertex normal — In the geometry of computer graphics, a vertex normal at a vertex of a polyhedron is the normalized average of the surface normals of the faces that contain that vertex. The average can be weighted by the area of the face or it can be unweighted …
7Vertex — (Latin: corner; plural vertices or vertexes) may refer to:Mathematics*Vertex (geometry), a corner point of a polygon, polyhedron, tesselation, etc. *Vertex (graph theory), a node in a graph *Vertex (curve), a local extreme point of curvature… …
8vertex — ► NOUN (pl. vertices or vertexes) 1) the highest point; the top or apex. 2) Geometry each angular point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other figure. 3) a meeting point of two lines that form an angle. 4) Anatomy the crown of the head. ORIGIN Latin …

10Vertex enumeration problem — In mathematics, the vertex enumeration problem for a polyhedron, a polyhedral cell complex, a hyperplane arrangement, or some other object of discrete geometry, is the problem of determination of the object s vertices given some formal… …
