Computational aspects of SSC of Wheel Graphs

Abstract

Simplicial complexes represent crucial mathematical structures with broad applications. Stanley-Reisner ideals encode combinatorial information about these complexes, bridg- ing combinatorial geometry and commutative algebra. Simplicial complexes, comprised of simplices, capture complex topological and combinatorial relationships, serving as founda- tional tools in numerous mathematical disciplines. Shellable complexes, a significant sub- class, allow systematic decomposition into ”shells,” revealing insights into their topological and homological properties. Studying the spanning simplicial complexes of wheel graphs elucidates the connection between graph theory and algebraic topology. Investigation into the shellability of line simplicial complexes sheds light on their combinatorial intricacies, contributing to a deeper understanding of their geometric and algebraic nature. Through these explorations, we uncover the rich interplay between combinatorial geometry, alge- braic structures, and topological properties inherent in simplicial complexes, facilitating broader comprehension and application across mathematical domains.
