(algebraic topology, geometry) A generalization of a triangle or tetrahedron to an arbitrary dimension, the generalization being the simplest possible convex polytope for a given dimension; more accurately, the convex hull of affinely independent points in -dimensional space.
The four simplexes that can be fully represented in 3D space.
(computing, telecommunications) Of a circuit or device: involving signals which travel in one direction at a time; unidirectional.
A set of walkie-talkies illustrates simplex (adjective ) wireless communication. Only one user can talk at a time while the other user listens, as the radio signal can only carry information in one direction.
(algebraic topology, geometry) A generalization of a triangle or tetrahedron to an arbitrary dimension, the generalization being the simplest possible convex polytope for a given dimension; more accurately, the convex hull of affinely independent points in -dimensional space.
The total number of faces is always a power of two minus one. This figure (a projection of the tesseract) shows the centroids of the 15 faces of the tetrahedron.
