simplexes
Minimal convex hulls
Simplexes is the plural of simplex.
In geometry, a simplex is the simplest possible shape in any given dimension—a point in zero dimensions, a line segment in one, a triangle in two, a tetrahedron in three.
The term appears in mathematics and physics when discussing fundamental geometric structures.
In telecommunications, simplex describes one-way-only transmission, as opposed to duplex.
