Define the packing density eta of a packing of spheres to be the fraction of a volume filled by the spheres. In three dimensions, there are three periodic packings for ...

The square gyrobicupola is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(29). The unit square gyrobicupola has volume V=2+4/3sqrt(2) (1) and Dehn invariant D = 24<3>_2 ...

The square orthobicupola is a convex equilateral solid that is Johnson solid J_(28). The unit square orthobicupola has volume V=2+4/3sqrt(2) (1) and Dehn invariant D = ...

A star polyhedron is a nonconvex polyhedron which contains an arrangement of symmetrically (nor nearly symmetrically) arranged spikes giving it the visual appearance of a ...

A figurate number of the form StOct_n = O_n+8Te_(n-1) (1) = n(2n^2-1), (2) where O_n is an octahedral number and Te_n is a tetrahedral number. The first few are 1, 14, 51, ...

A lattice polygon formed by a three-choice walk. The anisotropic perimeter and area generating function G(x,y,q)=sum_(m>=1)sum_(n>=1)sum_(a>=a)C(m,n,a)x^my^nq^a, where ...

A triangle tiling is a tiling of the plane by identical triangles. Any triangle tiles the plane (Wells 1991, p. 208). The total number of triangles (including inverted ones) ...

The trigyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is a convex equilateral solid obtained by rotating three of the pentagonal cupolas of a small rhombicosidodecahedron by 1/10 of a turn ...

A figurate number which is constructed as an octahedral number with a square pyramid removed from each of the six graph vertices, TO_n = O_(3n-2)-6P_(n-1)^((4)) (1) = ...

A figurate number constructed by taking the (3n-2)th tetrahedral number and removing the (n-1)th tetrahedral number from each of the four corners, Ttet_n = ...
