Two-dimensional projections of an hypercube

Computational Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We present a method to project a hypercube of arbitrary dimension on the plane, in such a way as to preserve, as well as possible, the distribution of distances between vertices. The method relies on a Montecarlo optimization procedure that minimizes the squared difference between distances in the plane and in the hypercube, appropriately weighted. The plane projections provide a convenient way of visualization for dynamical processes taking place on the hypercube.
