Vertex (Latin: corner; plural vertices or vertexes) may refer to:

Mathematics

Vertex (geometry), a corner point of a polygon, node in a Triangulated irregular network or TIN
Vertex (graph theory), a node in a graph
Vertex (curve), a local extreme point of curvature

Physics

Vertex (physics), a point where particles collide and interact
Vertex (optics), a point where the optical axis crosses a lens surface
Vertex algebra in conformal field theory
Vertex function describing the interaction between a photon and an electron
Vertex model in statistical mechanics, a discrete model of a physical system in which weights are associated with vertices of a grid graph. In Geometry, a vertex (plural "vertices" is a special kind of point. For other uses see Vertex. In Graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit out In the geometry of Curves a vertex is a point of where the first derivative of Curvature is zero In Particle physics, an interaction point (IP is the place where particles collide The cardinal points and the associated cardinal planes are a set of special points and planes in an optical system which help in the analysis In Quantum electrodynamics, the vertex function describes the coupling between a photon and an electron beyond the leading order of perturbation theory. A vertex model is a type of Statistical mechanics model in which the Boltzmann weights are associated with a vertex in the model (representing
