Title
Delaunay partitions in Rn applied to non-convex programs and vertex/facet enumeration problems
Abstract
Using a pair of theorems linking Delaunay partitions and linear programming, we develop a method to generate all simplices in a Delaunay partition of a set of points, and suggest an application to a piecewise linear non-convex optimization problem. The same method is shown to enumerate all facets of a polytope given as the convex hull of a finite set of points. The dual problem of enumerating all vertices of a polytope P defined as the intersection of a finite number of half-spaces is also addressed and solved by sequentially enumerating vertices of expanding polytopes defined within P. None of our algorithms are affected by degeneracy. Examples and computational results are given.
