Optimizing for the Rupert property

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: A polyhedron is Rupert if it is possible to cut a hole in it and thread an identical polyhedron through the hole. It is known that all 5 Platonic solids, 10 of the 13 Archimedean solids, 9 of the 13 Catalan solids, and 82 of the 92 Johnson solids are Rupert. Here, a nonlinear optimization method is devised that is able to rediscover the previously known results in seconds. It is also used to show that 2 additional Catalan solids and 5 additional Johnson solids are Rupert.
