Abstract:
In this short note we discuss the shellability of (nonpure) simplicial complexes in terms of acyclic orientations of the facet-ridge incidence graphs, which shows that we can decide shellability only from the facet-ridge incidences and the total number of faces the simplicial complex contains.
