====== Emanuele Delucchi (Binghamton) ====== ====== Shelling Orders and Discrete Morse Functions ====== ===== Abstract for the Combinatorics Seminar 2008 May 6 ===== I will introduce the concept of //shellability// of a regular cell complex, and explain how, in particular, a //shelling order// of the cells of such a complex induces naturally an (optimal) discrete Morse function on it. ----
