Waterman Polyhedron


WatermanPolyhedra

For a given point lattice, some number of points will be within distance d of the origin. A Waterman polyhedron is the convex hull of these points. A progression of Waterman polyhedra with increasing d within the cubic lattice is illustrated above. A progression based on the lattice of the diamond structure has been illustrated by Bourke (2002).
