Abstract |
|
In this paper it is shown that the regular simplex maximizes the sum of the squared contents of all i-dimensional faces, for all i = 2,⋯ , n, when the sum of the one-dimensional squared contents is fixed. An immediate corollary is that the regular simplex has the largest total length of all joining lines, total area of all triangles, total volume of all tetrahedra, and so forth, for a fixed sum of squared line lengths. Some related unsolved conjectures are presented. |
