The standard simplex or probability simplex [2] is the (k − 1)-dimensional simplex whose vertices are the k standard unit vectors in , or in other words {: + + =, =, …,}. In topology and combinatorics , it is common to "glue together" simplices to form a simplicial complex .
In mathematical optimization, Dantzig's simplex algorithm (or simplex method) is a popular algorithm for linear programming. [ 1 ] The name of the algorithm is derived from the concept of a simplex and was suggested by T. S. Motzkin . [ 2 ]
Simplex communication is a communication channel that sends information in one direction only. [ 3 ] The International Telecommunication Union definition is a communications channel that operates in one direction at a time, but that may be reversible; this is termed half duplex in other contexts.
Simplex vertices are ordered by their value, with 1 having the lowest (best) value. The Nelder–Mead method (also downhill simplex method , amoeba method , or polytope method ) is a numerical method used to find the minimum or maximum of an objective function in a multidimensional space.
A key concept in defining simplicial homology is the notion of an orientation of a simplex. By definition, an orientation of a k-simplex is given by an ordering of the vertices, written as (v 0,...,v k), with the rule that two orderings define the same orientation if and only if they differ by an even permutation.
A simplicial 3-complex. In mathematics, a simplicial complex is a structured set composed of points, line segments, triangles, and their n-dimensional counterparts, called simplices, such that all the faces and intersections of the elements are also included in the set (see illustration).

An example of simplicial complex, and the corresponding simplex tree data structure. Notice the two lowest nodes have a path of 4 to the node, indicating the 2 3-dimensional simplexes composed of 4 vertices each. In topological data analysis, a simplex tree is a type of trie used to represent efficiently any general simplicial complex.
