Geometric and combinatorial structure of a class of spherical folding tessellations – I

Catarina P. Avelino, Altino F. Santos (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A classification of dihedral folding tessellations of the sphere whose prototiles are a kite and an equilateral or isosceles triangle was obtained in recent four papers by Avelino and Santos (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015). In this paper we extend this classification, presenting all dihedral folding tessellations of the sphere by kites and scalene triangles in which the shorter side of the kite is equal to the longest side of the triangle. Within two possible cases of adjacency, only one will be addressed....

Goffin's algorithm for zonotopes

Michal Černý (2012)

Kybernetika

The Löwner-John ellipse of a full-dimensional bounded convex set is a circumscribed ellipse with the property that if we shrink it by the factor n (where n is dimension), we obtain an inscribed ellipse. Goffin’s algorithm constructs, in polynomial time, a tight approximation of the Löwner-John ellipse of a polyhedron given by facet description. In this text we adapt the algorithm for zonotopes given by generator descriptions. We show that the adapted version works in time polynomial in the size...

Gosset polytopes in integral octonions

Woo-Nyoung Chang, Jae-Hyouk Lee, Sung Hwan Lee, Young Jun Lee (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study the integral quaternions and the integral octonions along the combinatorics of the 24 -cell, a uniform polytope with the symmetry D 4 , and the Gosset polytope 4 21 with the symmetry E 8 . We identify the set of the unit integral octonions or quaternions as a Gosset polytope 4 21 or a 24 -cell and describe the subsets of integral numbers having small length as certain combinations of unit integral numbers according to the E 8 or D 4 actions on the 4 21 or the 24 -cell, respectively. Moreover, we show that each...
