Is a Given Graph Isomorphic to an Edge Graph?<br />

A first answer to this question is the following result.<br />

15 Combinatorial Theory of <strong>Convex</strong> Polytopes 273<br />

Theorem 15.7. There is an algorithm to decide whether a given abstract graph can<br />

be realized as the edge graph of a proper convex polytope in E d .<br />

The following proof is shaped along Grünbaum’s [453], p. 92, proof of a similar<br />

result on complexes.<br />

Proof. A statement in elementary algebra is any expression constructed according<br />

to the usual rules <strong>and</strong> involving only the symbols<br />
