On an extremal problem connected with simplices

Metric Geometry 2013-05-14 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

In this note we investigate the behavior of the volume that the convex hull of two congruent and intersecting simplices in Euclidean nn-space can have. We prove some useful equalities and inequalities on this volume. For the regular simplex we determine the maximal possible volume for the case when the two simplices are related to each other via reflection at a hyperplane intersecting them.
