One-person solitaire-like games are explored with a view to using them in teaching algorithmic problem solving. The key to understanding solutions to such games is the identification of invariant properties of polynomial arithmetic. We demonstrate th...

Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12 (2012)
Journal Article
Kasprzyk, A. M., & Nill, B. (2012). Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12. Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 19(3), Article P9

We introduce reflexive polytopes of index l as a natural generalisation of the notion of a reflexive polytope of index 1. These l-reflexive polytopes also appear as dual pairs. In dimension two we show that they arise from reflexive polygons via a ch... Read More about Reflexive polytopes of higher index and the number 12.
