The geometric cone relations for simplicial and cubical complexes (Q1382815)

It is well-known that the Dehn-Sommerville equations are the only (linear) (independent) relations on the \(f\)-vectors for convex simplicial polytopes, and recently B. F. Chen generalized them to cone relations for simplicial and cubical polytopes, where the angle-sum relations of Perles and Shephard follow easily from the numerical form of these cone relations. The authors derive analogues of these relations for simplicial and cubical complexes, both in cone functions and angles.
