magnet.geometric_utils.tetrahedron_volume

magnet.geometric_utils.tetrahedron_volume(vertices: ndarray) → float

Compute the volume of a simplex.

The volume is computed using the Cayley-Menger determinant.

Parameters:

vertices (np.ndarray v) – Array of shape (dim + 1, dim), where dim is the dimension of the considered space, containing the coordinates of the vertices of the simplex.

Returns:

The volume of the simplex.

Return type:

float
