@conference {13268, title = {A representation for abstract simplicial complexes: an analysis and a comparison}, booktitle = {Discrete Geometry for Computer Imagery}, year = {2003}, month = {2003///}, pages = {454 - 464}, abstract = {Abstract simplicial complexes are used in many application contexts to represent multi-dimensional, possibly non-manifold and non-uniformly dimensional, geometric objects. In this paper we introduce a new general yet compact data structure for representing simplicial complexes, which is based on a decomposition approach that we have presented in our previous work [3]. We compare our data structure with the existing ones and we discuss in which respect it performs better than others.}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-39966-7_43}, author = {De Floriani, Leila and Morando,F. and Puppo,E.} }
