We say that a pure $d$-dimensional simplicial complex $Delta$ on $n$ vertices is shelling completable if $Delta$ can be realized as the initial sequence of some shelling of $Delta_{n-1}^{(d)}$, the $d$-skeleton of the $(n-1)$-dimensional simplex. A well-known conjecture of Simon posits that any shellable complex is shelling completable. In this note we prove that vertex decomposable complexes are shelling completable. In fact we show that if $Delta$ is a vertex decomposable complex then there exists an ordering of its ground set $V$ such that adding the revlex smallest missing $(d+1)$-subset of $V$ results in a complex that is again vertex decomposable. We explore applications to matroids, shifted complexes, as well as $k$-vertex decomposable complexes. We also show that if $Delta$ is a $d$-dimensional complex on at most $d+3$ vertices then the notions of shellable, vertex decomposable, shelling completable, and extendably shellable are all equivalent.

Given a simple undirected graph $G$ there is a simplicial complex $mathrm{Ind}(G)$, called the independence complex, whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. This is a well studied concept because it provides a fertile ground for intera
ctions between commutative algebra, graph theory and algebraic topology. One of the line of research pursued by many authors is to determine the graph classes for which the associated independence complex is Cohen-Macaulay. For example, it is known that when $G$ is a chordal graph the complex $mathrm{Ind}(G)$ is in fact vertex decomposable, the strongest condition in the Cohen-Macaulay ladder. In this article we consider a generalization of independence complex. Given $rgeq 1$, a subset of the vertex set is called $r$-independent if the connected components of the induced subgraph have cardinality at most $r$. The collection of all $r$-independent subsets of $G$ form a simplicial complex called the $r$-independence complex and is denoted by $mathrm{Ind}_r(G)$. It is known that when $G$ is a chordal graph the complex $mathrm{Ind}_r(G)$ has the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres. Hence it is natural to ask which of these complexes are shellable or even vertex decomposable. We prove, using Woodroofes chordal hypergraph notion, that these complexes are always shellable when the underlying chordal graph is a tree. Further, using the notion of vertex splittable ideals we show that for caterpillar graphs the associated $r$-independence complex is vertex decomposable for all values of $r$. We also construct chordal graphs on $2r+2$ vertices such that their $r$-independence complexes are not sequentially Cohen-Macaulay for any $r ge 2$.
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. If $G$ is a Konig graph or $G$ is a graph without 3-cycles and 5-cycle, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: $Delta_{G}$ is pure shellable, $R/I_{Delta}$ is Cohen-Macaulay, $G$ is unmixed vertex decomposabl
e graph and $G$ is well-covered with a perfect matching of Konig type $e_{1},...,e_{g}$ without square with two $e_i$s. We characterize well-covered graphs without 3-cycles, 5-cycles and 7-cycles. Also, we study when graphs without 3-cycles and 5-cycles are vertex decomposable or shellable. Furthermore, we give some properties and relations between critical, extendables and shedding vertices. Finally, we characterize unicyclic graphs with each one of the following properties: unmixed, vertex decomposable, shellable and Cohen-Macaulay.
In this article, we discuss the vertex decomposability of three well-studied simplicial complexes associated to forests. In particular, we show that the bounded degree complex of a forest and the complex of directed trees of a multidiforest are verte
x decomposable. We then prove that the non-cover complex of a forest is either contractible or homotopy equivalent to a sphere. Finally, we provide a complete characterization of forests whose non-cover complexes are vertex decomposable.
Given an infinite field $mathbb{k}$ and a simplicial complex $Delta$, a common theme in studying the $f$- and $h$-vectors of $Delta$ has been the consideration of the Hilbert series of the Stanley--Reisner ring $mathbb{k}[Delta]$ modulo a generic lin
ear system of parameters $Theta$. Historically, these computations have been restricted to special classes of complexes (most typically triangulations of spheres or manifolds). We provide a compact topological expression of $h_{d-1}^mathfrak{a}(Delta)$, the dimension over $mathbb{k}$ in degree $d-1$ of $mathbb{k}[Delta]/(Theta)$, for any complex $Delta$ of dimension $d-1$. In the process, we provide tools and techniques for the possible extension to other coefficients in the Hilbert series.
We prove that for all $d geq 1$ a shellable $d$-dimensional simplicial complex with at most $d+3$ vertices is extendably shellable. The proof involves considering the structure of `exposed edges in chordal graphs as well as a connection to linear quotients of quadratic monomial ideals.
