On generalizations of the Synge-Kv{r}\'{i}v{z}ek maximum angle condition for d-simplices

In this note we present a generalization of the maximum angle condition, proposed by J. L. Synge in 1957 and M. K\v{r}\'{i}\v{z}ek in 1992 for triangular and tetrahedral elements, respectively, for the case of higher-dimensional simplicial finite elements. Its relations to the other angle-type conditions commonly used in finite element methods are analysed.
