The majority of the chemical elements form chemical compounds with molecules of higher dimension (i.e., substantially exceeding three). This fact is very important for the analysis of molecular interactions in various areas: nanomedicine, nanotoxicology, and quantum biology. The Geometry of Higher-Dimensional Polytopes contains innovative research on the methods and applications of the structures of binary compounds. It explores the study of geometry polytopes from a higher-dimensional perspective, taking into account the features of polytopes that are models of chemical compounds. While highlighting topics including chemical compounds, symmetry transformation, and DNA structures, this book is ideally designed for researchers, academicians, and students seeking current research on dimensions present in binary compounds.

The book collects results about realization spaces of polytopes. It gives a presentation of the author's "Universality Theorem for 4-polytopes". It is a comprehensive survey of the important results that have been obtained in that direction. The approaches chosen are direct and very geometric in nature. The book is addressed to researchers and to graduate students. The former will find a comprehensive source for the above mentioned results. The latter will find a readable introduction to the field. The reader is assumed to be familiar with basic concepts of linear algebra.

The study of the geometry of structures that arise in a variety of specific natural systems, such as chemical, physical, biological, and geological, revealed the existence of a wide range of types of polytopes of the highest dimension that were unknown in classical geometry. At the same time, new properties of polytopes were discovered as well as the geometric patterns to which they obey. There is a need to classify these types of polytopes of the highest dimension by listing their properties and formulating the laws to which they obey. The Classes of Higher Dimensional Polytopes in Chemical, Physical, and Biological Systems explains the meaning of higher dimensions and systematically generalizes the results of geometric research in various fields of knowledge. This book is useful both for the fundamental development of geometry and for the development of branches of science related to human activities. It builds upon previous books published by the author on this topic. Covering areas such as heredity, geometry, and dimensions, this reference work is ideal for researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.

Regular polytopes and their symmetry have a long history stretching back two and a half millennia, to the classical regular polygons and polyhedra. Much of modern research focuses on abstract regular polytopes, but significant recent developments have been made on the geometric side, including the exploration of new topics such as realizations and rigidity, which offer a different way of understanding the geometric and combinatorial symmetry of polytopes. This is the first comprehensive account of the modern geometric theory, and includes a wide range of applications, along with new techniques. While the author explores the subject in depth, his elementary approach to traditional areas such as finite reflexion groups makes this book suitable for beginning graduate students as well as more experienced researchers.

Research on nanomaterials and their applications has become a trending area in various fields of study and practice. Its properties and abilities open a variety of scientific advancements that weren’t possible in past years. One specific area of research that is benefiting from the implementation of nanotechnology is the study of higher-dimensional compounds that include metallic atoms and other polytypes. There is vast potential in the study of how nanomaterials are currently being used for producing clusters in higher dimensions of space. Nanotechnologies and Clusters in the Spaces of Higher Dimension: Emerging Research and Opportunities provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of the production of intermetallic clusters in high dimensional spaces using nanotechnology. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as intermetallic compounds, incident conservation law, and applied mathematics, this book is ideally designed for practitioners, scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, physicists, mathematicians, students, and academicians seeking current research on the use of nanomaterials in interdimensional science.

"The original edition [...] inspired a whole generation of grateful workers in polytope theory. Without it, it is doubtful whether many of the subsequent advances in the subject would have been made. The many seeds it sowed have since grown into healthy trees, with vigorous branches and luxuriant foliage. It is good to see it in print once again." --Peter McMullen, University College London
