The Polyhedra of Maximal Volume Inscribed in the Unit Sphere and of Minimal Volume Circumscribed about the Unit Sphere
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we consider two classes of polyhedra. One is the class of polyhedra of maximal volume with n vertices that are inscribed in the unit sphere of R. The other class is polyhedra of minimal volume with n vertices that are circumscribed about the unit sphere of R. We construct such polyhedra for n up to 30 by a computer aided search and discuss some of their properties.

Inscribed and Circumscribed Polyhedra for a Convex Body and Continuous Functions on a Sphere in Euclidean Space
Two related problems concerning continuous functions on a sphere Sn−1 ⊂ Rn are studied, together with the problem of finding a family of polyhedra in Rn one of which is inscribed in (respectively, circumscribed about) a given smooth convex body in Rn. In particular, it is proved that, in every convex body K ⊂ R3, one can inscribe an eight-vertex polyhedron obtained by “equiaugmentation” of a si...
متن کاملAn Exact Solution for Quasi-Static Poro-Thermoelasticity in Spherical Coordin
In this paper the Quasi-Static poro-thermoelasticity model of a hollow and solid sphere under radial symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the Quasi-Static equations is presented. The thermal, mechanical and pressure boundary conditions, the body force, the heat source and the injected volume rate per unit volume of a ...
متن کاملLinear Weingarten hypersurfaces in a unit sphere
In this paper, by modifying Cheng-Yau$'$s technique to complete hypersurfaces in $S^{n+1}(1)$, we prove a rigidity theorem under the hypothesis of the mean curvature and the normalized scalar curvature being linearly related which improve the result of [H. Li, Hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in space forms, {em Math. Ann.} {305} (1996), 665--672].
متن کاملThe Roundest Polyhedra with Symmetry Constraints
Amongst the convex polyhedra with n faces circumscribed about the unit sphere, which has the minimum surface area? This is the isoperimetric problem in discrete geometry which is addressed in this study. The solution of this problem represents the closest approximation of the sphere, i.e., the roundest polyhedra. A new numerical optimization method developed previously by the authors has been a...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Analysis of Flow Past a Solid-Sphere at Low Reynolds Numbers with the Aid of Body Fitted Coordinates
In this paper, the flow-field of an incompressible viscous flow past a solid-sphere at low Reynolds numbers (up to 270) is investigated numerically. In order to extend the capabilities of the finite volume method, the boundary (body) fitted coordinates (BFC) method is used. Transformation of the partial differential equations to algebraic relations is based on the finite-volume method with coll...
