Abstract: TOPCOM is a package for computing triangulations of point configurations and oriented matroids. For example, for a point configuration one can compute the chirotope, components of the flip graph of triangulations, enumerate all triangulations. The core algorithms implemented in TOPCOM are described, and implentation issues are discussed.
Keywords: triangulation, point configuration, oriented matroid, software, chirotope, circuit, cocircuit, symmetry, TOPCOM
