The Geometry of Higher-Dimensional Polytopes


Book Description

The majority of the chemical elements form chemical compounds with molecules of higher dimension (i.e., substantially exceeding three). This fact is very important for the analysis of molecular interactions in various areas: nanomedicine, nanotoxicology, and quantum biology. The Geometry of Higher-Dimensional Polytopes contains innovative research on the methods and applications of the structures of binary compounds. It explores the study of geometry polytopes from a higher-dimensional perspective, taking into account the features of polytopes that are models of chemical compounds. While highlighting topics including chemical compounds, symmetry transformation, and DNA structures, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academicians, and students seeking current research on dimensions present in binary compounds.




The Classes of Higher Dimensional Polytopes in Chemical, Physical, and Biological Systems


Book Description

The study of the geometry of structures that arise in a variety of specific natural systems, such as chemical, physical, biological, and geological, revealed the existence of a wide range of types of polytopes of the highest dimension that were unknown in classical geometry. At the same time, new properties of polytopes were discovered as well as the geometric patterns to which they obey. There is a need to classify these types of polytopes of the highest dimension by listing their properties and formulating the laws to which they obey. The Classes of Higher Dimensional Polytopes in Chemical, Physical, and Biological Systems explains the meaning of higher dimensions and systematically generalizes the results of geometric research in various fields of knowledge. This book is useful both for the fundamental development of geometry and for the development of branches of science related to human activities. It builds upon previous books published by the author on this topic. Covering areas such as heredity, geometry, and dimensions, this reference work is ideal for researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.




Realization Spaces of Polytopes

It is a comprehensive survey of the important results that have been obtained in that direction. The approaches chosen are direct and very geometric in nature. The book is addressed to researchers and to graduate students. The former will find a comprehensive source for the above mentioned results. The latter will find a readable introduction to the field. The reader is assumed to be familiar with basic concepts of linear algebra.




Geometric Regular Polytopes


Book Description

Regular polytopes and their symmetry have a long history stretching back two and a half millennia, to the classical regular polygons and polyhedra. Much of modern research focuses on abstract regular polytopes, but significant recent developments have been made on the geometric side, including the exploration of new topics such as realizations and rigidity, which offer a different way of understanding the geometric and combinatorial symmetry of polytopes. This is the first comprehensive account of the modern geometric theory, and includes a wide range of applications, along with new techniques. While the author explores the subject in depth, his elementary approach to traditional areas such as finite reflexion groups makes this book suitable for beginning graduate students as well as more experienced researchers.

Normal Partitions and Hierarchical Fillings of N-Dimensional Spaces


Book Description

In the study of the structure of substances in recent decades, phenomena in the higher dimension was discovered that was previously unknown. These include spontaneous zooming (scaling processes), discovery of crystals with the absence of translational symmetry in three-dimensional space, detection of the fractal nature of matter, hierarchical filling of space with polytopes of higher dimension, and the highest dimension of most molecules of chemical compounds. This forces research to expand the formulation of the question of constructing n-dimensional spaces, posed by David Hilbert in 1900, and to abandon the methods of considering the construction of spaces by geometric figures that do not take into account the accumulated discoveries in the physics of the structure of substances. There is a need for research that accounts for the new paradigm of the discrete world and provides a solution to Hilbert's 18th problem of constructing spaces of higher dimension using congruent figures. Normal Partitions and Hierarchical Fillings of N-Dimensional Spaces aims to consider the construction of spaces of various dimensions from two to any finite dimension n, taking into account the indicated conditions, including zooming in on shapes, properties of geometric figures of higher dimensions, which have no analogue in three-dimensional space. This book considers the conditions of existence of polytopes of higher dimension, clusters of chemical compounds as polytopes of the highest dimension, higher dimensions in the theory of heredity, the geometric structure of the product of polytopes, the products of polytopes on clusters and molecules, parallelohedron and stereohedron of Delaunay, parallelohedron of higher dimension and partition of n-dimensional spaces, hierarchical filling of n-dimensional spaces, joint normal partitions, and hierarchical fillings of n-dimensional spaces. In addition, it pays considerable attention to biological problems. This book is a valuable reference tool for practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in learning more about the latest research on normal partitions and hierarchical fillings of n-dimensional spaces.




Attractors and Higher Dimensions in Population and Molecular Biology: Emerging Research and Opportunities


Book Description

In studying biology, one of the more difficult factors to predict is how parents’ attributes will affect their children and how those children will affect their own children. Organizing and calculating those vast statistics can become extremely tedious without the proper mathematical and reproductive knowledge. Attractors and Higher Dimensions in Population and Molecular Biology: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of population logistics. While highlighting topics including gene analysis, crossbreeding, and reproduction, this book is ideally designed for academics, researchers, biologists, and mathematicians seeking current research on modeling the reproduction process of a biological population.

Convex Polytopes


Book Description

"The original edition [...] inspired a whole generation of grateful workers in polytope theory. Without it, it is doubtful whether many of the subsequent advances in the subject would have been made. The many seeds it sowed have since grown into healthy trees, with vigorous branches and luxuriant foliage. It is good to see it in print once again." --Peter McMullen, University College London
