Characterization of polytopes via tilings with similar pieces (Q664362)

In this paper it is shown that if there exist \(n-1\) proper tilings of \(K\), each of which contains a tile similar to \(K\), with the additional condition that the convex hull of the fixed points of the corresponding similarities forms an (\(n-2\))-dimensional simplex, then \(K\) is a polytope. The author provides an example showing that the result cannot be improved.
