Flexible cross-polytopes in the Euclidean 4-space (English)
0 references
Cross-polytopes are the analoga of octahedra in \(n\)-space \((n>3)\). The author develops a class of flexibile cross-polytopes in Euclidean 4-space. These generalize examples given by \textit{A. Walz} in 1998 (\url{http://www.cms.math.ca/Events/Winter98/}). The arguments are based on methods from 4-dimensional descriptive geometry. A parametrization of the flexes of the Walz's polytopes is obtained.
