Le lecteur trouvera ici une description détaillée des méthodes et algorithmes utilisés pour démontrer qu’il n’y a que 33 classes de formes parfaites en dimension 7, ainsi qu’un tableau récapitulatif des résultats.

Il trouvera, en particulier, une généralisation de l’algorithme de Voronoï appliquée en profondeur, récursivement, aux faces des domaines

The reader will find here a detailed description of the methods and algorithms used in order to prove that there are only 33 classes of perfect septenary forms, as well as a recapitulative table of the results.

He will find in particular a generalization of Voronoï’s algorithm applied in depth, recursively, to the faces of the domains.
