How can I find the hyperplane passing through a 600-cell
I have a 600-cell, whose coordinates are given by
$$\begin{array}{ccc}
\text{8 vertices} & \left(0,0,0,\pm1\right) & \text{all permutations,}\\
\text{16 vertices} & \frac{1}{2}\left(\pm1,\...

maximizing number of lattice points with bounded diameter
Suppose I have a lattice $L$ that's just $\mathbb{Z}^k$ but scaled in every coordinate by some (potentially different) real numbers. Now I want to construct a finite set of lattice points $S \subset L$...

16-cell honeycomb (4D tiling by cross-polytopes)
A 4-dimensional cross-polytope (also called 16-cell) is a regular polytope whose vertices are all permutations of $(\pm1,0,0,0)$. It is known that this body tiles the space $\mathbb{R}^4$ by ...

By the hypercube I mean the lattice formed by all n-bit strings ordered by pointwise inequality. For example, $000 \leq 110$, $010 \leq 110$, $110$ and $001$ are not comparable. Further we have the ...
