The vertices of the platonic solids are tight frames
Richard Vale and Shayne Waldron
Abstract:
Here we give a simple proof that many highly symmetric configurations
of vectors, such as the n-th roots of unity in R^2
and the vertices of the platonic solids in R^3, are tight frames.
Keywords:
Tight frames, vertices of the platonic solids
