Let f: N n→ R n+ 1 be a frontal with the Gauss mapping ν: N→ S n and let P∈ R n+ 1 be a point such that (f (x)− P)⋅ ν (x)≠ 0 for any x∈ N. In this study, for the mapping f˜: N→ R n+ 1 defined by: f˜(x)= f (x)−|| f (x)− P|| 2 2 (f (x)− P)⋅ ν (x) ν (x), the following four statements hold.(1) f˜ is a frontal with the Gauss mapping ν˜(x)= f (x)− P|| f (x)− P|| at f˜(x).(2) f˜ is the unique anti-orthotomic of f relative to P.(3) The property that (f˜(x)− P)⋅ ν˜(x)≠ 0 holds for any x∈ N.(4) The equality of|| f˜(x)− P||=|| f˜(x)− f (x)|| holds for any x∈ N. Moreover, three applications of the main result are given. A generalization of the Cahn–Hoffman vector formula is given as the first application. The second application involves clarifying an optical meaning of anti-orthotomics. The third application provides a criterion for determining a front for a given frontal.
