Consider a finite point configuration \(V \subset R^d\), where the convex hull of \(V\) is a convex \(d\)-polytope. A subdivision of \(V\) is a finite collection of \(d\)-polytopes \(\{P_1,\dots,P_k\}\) such that their vertices are elements of \(V\), \(\text{conv} (V)\) is the union of the \(P_i\), and the intersection of any pair \(P_i \cap P_j\) is either empty or a common face. A triangulation of \(V\) is a subdivision for which all \(P_i\) are simplices. This nice survey article contains all the basic definitions and fundamental results of the theory of triangulations and subdivisions of point configurations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0890.52001].
