Abstract
Each convex polytope P = P(α) can be described by a set of linear inequalities determined by vectors p and right hand sides α(p). For a fixed set of vectors p, a type domain D(P₀) of a polytope P₀ and, in particular, of a parallelotope P₀ is defined as a set of parameters α(p) such that polytopes P(α) have the same combinatorial type as P₀ for all α ∈ D(P₀).
In the second part of the paper, a facet description of zonotopes and zonotopal parallelotopes are given.
The article is published in the author’s wording.
