Abstract: We introduce the Dyck path triangulation of the cartesian product of two simplices Deltan1imesDeltan1. The maximal simplices of this triangulation are given by Dyck paths, and its construction naturally generalizes to produce triangulations of Deltarn1imesDeltan1 using rational Dyck paths. Our study of the Dyck path triangulation is motivated by extendability problems of partial triangulations of products of two simplices. We show that whenever mgeqk>n, any triangulation of Deltam1(k1)imesDeltan1 extends to a unique triangulation of Deltam1imesDeltan1. Moreover, with an explicit construction, we prove that the bound k>n is optimal. We also exhibit interesting interpretations of our results in the language of tropical oriented matroids, which are analogous to classical results in oriented matroid theory.
