โฆ Synopsis
a b s t r a c t
In Wachspress (1975) [2] rational bases were constructed for convex polyhedra whose vertices were all of order three. The restriction to order three was first removed by Warren (1996) [3] and his analysis was refined subsequently by Warren and Schaefer (2004) [4]. A new algorithm (GADJ) for finding the denominator polynomial common to all the basis functions was exposed in Dasgupta and Wachspress (2007) [1] for convex polyhedra with all vertices of order three. This algorithm is applied here for generating bases for general convex polyhedra.

Euler's relation when apphed to simple convex polyhedra leads to an equation that involves the number of k-gonal faces that are not hexagons. Below we develop sufficient condlttons, revolving the number of hexagons, under which a gwen set of k-gons which satisfy that equation can be the faces of a s
