Solid angles comparison

48 Views Asked by At

Suppose I have two sets of unit norm vectors $(S_1, S_2)$ in $d$ dimension.

Every set of vectors can define a solid angle.

And I'm only interested in finding out which set has a bigger solid angle.

Since there is no easy way to calculate the solid angle in arbitrary dimension.

Can I use the determinant of the space spanned by the set of vectors to approximate the solid angle and get the comparative result?
