| Apr 1 at 22:41 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | I still think the three tags "polytopes", "convex polytopes", and "polyhedra" are unnecessary and should all be grouped together somehow. | |

| Feb 27, 2019 at 23:20 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | I'm not sold on this. That a tag is little used is not a reason for it to be deleted. In this case, what is worth fixing is the confusing overlap. There are two approaches to fix this: put everything in the more general polytope, or create a new more specific tag about non-convex polytopes for the few questions that don't fit the convex polytope tag. I'd like to hear more about about what users of these tags think regarding these two options. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:36 | comment | added | YCor | Hence, I would be inclined to make a single tag, named polyhedra for instance, or polytopes, or polyhedra-and-polytopes. With usage guidance, for instance "Polyhedra, polytopes, polyhedral cones, etc. Can be used in combination with convex-geometry. Convex polytopes are the convex hulls of a finite set of points in Euclidean spaces. They have rich combinatorial, arithmetic, and metrical theory, and are related to toric varieties and to linear programming." (The sentence in boldface is the current usage guidance for convex-geometry.) | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 20:34 | comment | added | YCor | One problem is that technically speaking, questions about non-convex polytopes do not fit in convex-polytopes. Other remark: it seems at first sight that most questions in polytopes are concerned with convex polytopes, and so do most in polyhedra. (...) | |
