Isoptic surfaces of polyhedra
Abstract
The theory of the isoptic curves is widely studied in the Euclidean plane (see \cite{CMM91} and \cite{Wi} and the references given there). The analogous question was investigated by the authors in the hyperbolic and elliptic planes (see \cite{CsSz1}, \cite{CsSz2}, \cite{CsSz5}), but in the higher dimensional spaces there are only a few result in this topic. In \cite{CsSz4} we gave a natural extension of the notion of the isoptic curves to the -dimensional Euclidean space which are called isoptic hypersurfaces. Now we develope an algorithm to determine the isoptic surface of a -dimensional polytop . We will determine the isoptic surfaces for Platonic solids and for some semi-regular Archimedean polytopes and visualize them with Wolfram Mathematica.
