Zonotope (EntityClass, 8)

From Hi.gher. Space

A zonotope is a polytope which can be constructed as the Minkowski sum of a set of vectors, or line segments with one endpoint at the origin. These vectors are known as the generators of the zonotope.

There are many other equivalent definitions:

• a projection of an n-hypercube, where n is the number of generators;
• a polytope which can be alternated;
• a polytope whose facets are all convex with point symmetry (note that they need not have brick symmetry).
