TY - JOUR A1 - Altschuler, Eric Lewin AU - Pérez Garrido, Antonio AU - Stong, Richard T1 - A Novel Symmetric Four Dimensional Polytope Found Using Optimization Strategies Inspired by Thomson’s Problem of Charges on a Sphere Y1 - 2006 UR - http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0601139 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10317/593 AB - Inspired by, and using methods of optimization derived from classical three dimensional electrostatics, we note a novel beautiful symmetric four dimensional polytope we have found with 80 vertices. We also describe how the method used to find this symmetric polytope, and related methods can potentially be used to find good examples for the kissing and packing problems in D dimensions.
