As nouns the difference between polytope and polytrope
is that polytope is a finite region of n-dimensional space bounded by hyperplanes; the geometrical entity represented by the general term of the infinite sequence "point, line, polygon, polyhedron, ..." while polytrope is a particular solution to an equation concerning self-gravitating, polytropic fluid.polytope
