β¦ Synopsis
Several important simplicial complexes including matroid complexes and broken circuit complexes are known to be shellable. We show that the lexicographic order of the bases of a matroid can be reversed to obtain a shelling. We prove that the h-vectors of such reversibly shellable complexes of rank d, which have an empty boundary must satisfy the inequality ho + hi +... + hi'ha + ha-t + "'" + ha i for i<~ [d/2]. In particular, this gives a necessary condition for the h-vector of matroids without coloops.

We develop a simple geometry free context where one can formulate and prove general forms of Gehring's Lemma. We show how our result follows from a general inverse type reiteration theorem for approximation spaces.
we prove an existence result for strong solutions of an implicit vector variational inequality with multifunctions by following the approach of Theorem 3.1 in [I]. The aim of this paper is to extend Theorem 3.1 in [l] to the multifunction case with moving cones.
