Ann Lehman’s Sculpture Based on Herb Scarf’s Maximal Lattice Free Convex Bodies
Maximal lattice-free convex bodies introduced by Herb Scarf and the related complex of maximal lattice free simplices (also known as the Scarf complex) are remarkable geometric constructions with deep connections to combinatorics, convex geometry, integer programming, game theory, fixed point computations, … Continue reading
