@article{10860, abstract = {A tight frame is the orthogonal projection of some orthonormal basis of Rn onto Rk. We show that a set of vectors is a tight frame if and only if the set of all cross products of these vectors is a tight frame. We reformulate a range of problems on the volume of projections (or sections) of regular polytopes in terms of tight frames and write a first-order necessary condition for local extrema of these problems. As applications, we prove new results for the problem of maximization of the volume of zonotopes.}, author = {Ivanov, Grigory}, issn = {1496-4287}, journal = {Canadian Mathematical Bulletin}, keywords = {General Mathematics, Tight frame, Grassmannian, zonotope}, number = {4}, pages = {942--963}, publisher = {Canadian Mathematical Society}, title = {{Tight frames and related geometric problems}}, doi = {10.4153/s000843952000096x}, volume = {64}, year = {2021}, }
