It is known that the flip distance between two triangulations of a convex polygon is related to the smallest number of tetrahedra in the triangulation of some polyhedron. The latter was used to compute the diameter of the flip graph of convex polygons with a large number of vertices. However, it is yet unknown whether the flip distance and this smallest number of tetrahedra are always the same or...
