Definition 3.60.

Let CC be a convex polyhedron, Π\Pi a polyhedral complex in CC and f:C→ℝf\colon C\to\mathbb{R} a piecewise affine function. We say that Π\Pi and ff are compatible if ff is affine on each polyhedron of Π\Pi. Alternatively, we say that ff is a piecewise affine function on Π\Pi. If the function ff is concave, it is said to be strictly concave on Π\Pi if Π=Π⁡(f)\Pi=\Pi(f). The polyhedral complex Π\Pi is said to be regular if there exists a concave piecewise affine function ff such that Π=Π⁡(f)\Pi=\Pi(f).
