116 III Homology of Polyhedra<br />

With the appropriate identification |K × I |≡|K|×I (cf. Theorem (III.1.1)), we<br />

may assume that i0 and i1 are the geometric realizations of the simplicial functions<br />

�ıα : K → K × I<br />

that take each 0-simplex {x} of K to the 0-simplex {(x,α)} of K × I . To verify<br />

this theorem, it is sufficient to prove that�ı0 and�ı1 are contiguous. We order the set<br />

X = {x0,x1 ...,xr} of all vertices of K by sett<strong>in</strong>g x0 < x1
