International audience this is an extended abstract of the full version. We study n-vertex d-dimensional polytopes with at most one nonsimplex facet with, say, d + s vertices, called almost simplicial polytopes. We provide tight lower and upper bounds for the face numbers of these polytopes as functions of d, n and s, thus generalizing the classical Lower Bound Theorem by Barnette and Upper Bound Theorem by McMullen, which treat the case s = 0. We characterize the minimizers and provide examples of maximizers, for any d.

AbstractWe study $n$-vertex $d$-dimensional polytopes with at most one nonsimplex facet with, say, $d+s$ vertices, called almost simplicial polytopes. We provide tight lower and upper bound theorems for these polytopes as functions of $d,n$, and $s$, thus generalizing the classical Lower Bound Theorem by Barnette and the Upper Bound Theorem by McMullen, which treat the case where $s=0$. We characterize the minimizers and provide examples of maximizers for any $d$. Our construction of maximizers is a generalization of cyclic polytopes, based on a suitable variation of the moment curve, and is of independent interest.

International audience The face numbers of simplicial polytopes that approximate $C^1$-convex bodies in the Hausdorff metric is studied. Several structural results about the skeleta of such polytopes are studied and used to derive a lower bound theorem for this class of polytopes. This partially resolves a conjecture made by Kalai in 1994: if a sequence $\{P_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ of simplicial polytopes converges to a $C^1$-convex body in the Hausdorff distance, then the entries of the $g$-vector of $P_n$ converge to infinity. Nous étudions les nombres de faces de polytopes simpliciaux qui se rapprochent de $C^1$-corps convexes dans la métrique Hausdorff. Plusieurs résultats structurels sur le skeleta de ces polytopes sont recherchées et utilisées pour calculer un théorème limite inférieure de cette classe de polytopes. Cela résout partiellement une conjecture formulée par Kalai en 1994: si une suite $\{P_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ de polytopes simpliciaux converge vers une $C^1$-corps convexe dans la distance Hausdorff, puis les entrées du $g$-vecteur de $P_n$ convergent vers l’infini.

This paper demonstrates the limitations of repeated elastic finite element analyses (REFEA) based limit load determination that uses the classical lower bound theorem. The r-node method is prescribed as an alternative for obtaining better limit load estimates. Lower bound aspects pertaining to r-nodes are also discussed.

In this paper, we introduce a distance [Formula: see text] on the equivalence classes of spherical curves under deformations of type RI and ambient isotopies. We obtain an inequality that estimate its lower bound (Theorem 1). In Theorem 2, we show that if for a pair of spherical curves [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] satisfy a certain technical condition, then [Formula: see text] is obtained from [Formula: see text] by a single weak RIII only. In Theorem 3, we show that if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] satisfy other conditions, then [Formula: see text] is ambient isotopic to a spherical curve that is obtained from [Formula: see text] by a sequence of a particular local deformations, which realizes [Formula: see text].
