Here a level-k hypertriangulation of n\r\n points in the plane is a subdivision induced by the projection of a k-hypersimplex, which is the convex hull of the barycenters of the (k-1)-dimensional faces of the standard (n-1)-simplex. In particular, we introduce four types of flips and prove that the level-2 hypertriangulations are connected by these flips.\r\n"}],"department":[{"_id":"HeEd"}],"ec_funded":1,"article_processing_charge":"No","year":"2025","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0195-6698"]},"_id":"20490","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"ieee":"H.
