Title
A proof of the sufficiency of McMullen's conditions for f-vectors of simplicial convex polytopes
Abstract
The f-vector of a convex d-polytope P is the vector f(P) = (f0(P), f1(P),…, fd − 1(P)), where fj(P) is the number of j-dimensional faces of P. McMullen in 1971 proposed a characterization of the set of all f-vectors of simplicial convex d-polytopes. In 1979 the authors announced the sufficiency of the characterization and Stanley proved its necessity. We give here a proof of the sufficiency of McMullen's conditions.
