Abstract
Abstract A cage is the 1-skeleton of a convex polytope in ℝ3. A cage is said to hold a set if the set cannot be continuously moved to a distant location, remaining congruent to itself and disjoint from the cage. In how many positions can (compact 2-dimensional) unit discs be held by a tetrahedral cage? We completely answer this question for all tetrahedra.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Geometry is a mathematical journal for the publication of original research articles of excellent quality in the area of geometry. Geometry is a field of long standing-tradition and eminent importance. The study of space and spatial patterns is a major mathematical activity; geometric ideas and geometric language permeate all of mathematics.
