Abstract

Roughly speaking, the rank of a Delaunay polytope (first introduced in DGL92) is its number of degrees of freedom. In DL, a method for computing the rank of a Delaunay polytope P using the hypermetrics related to P is given. Here a simpler more efficient method, which uses affine dependencies instead of hypermetrics is given. This method is applied to classical Delaunay polytopes. Then, we give an example of a Delaunay polytope, which does not have any affine basis.
