There are a number of attractive compounds of two regular tetrahedra. The most symmetrical is the arrangement whose outer hull is the stella octangula (left figure), while ...

The rhombic hexecontahedron is a 60-faced polyhedron that can be obtained by stellating the rhombic triacontahedron by placing a plane along each edge which is perpendicular ...

A Cantor set C in R^3 is said to be scrawny if for each neighborhood U of an arbitrary point p in C, there is a neighborhood V of p such that every map f:S^1->V subset C ...

The (small) rhombicosidodecahedron (Cundy and Rowlett 1989, p. 111), sometimes simply called the rhombicosidodecahedron (Maeder 1997; Wenninger 1989, p. 27; Conway et al. ...

In general, a triakis octahedron is a non-regular icositetrahedron that can be constructed as a positive augmentation of regular octahedron. Such a solid is also known as a ...

The polyhedron compound of the truncated dodecahedron and its dual, the triakis icosahedron. The compound can be constructed from a truncated dodecahedron of unit edge length ...

The polyhedron compound of the truncated icosahedron and its dual, the pentakis dodecahedron. The compound can be constructed from a truncated icosahedron of unit edge length ...

A quadrilateral, sometimes also known as a tetragon or quadrangle (Johnson 1929, p. 61) is a four-sided polygon. If not explicitly stated, all four polygon vertices are ...

A compound of five regular dodecahedra with the symmetry of the icosahedron (Wenninger 1983, pp. 145-147) can be constructed by taking a dodecahedron with top and bottom ...

Midpoint augmentation, a term introduced here, is a variant of conventional augmentation in which each facial polygon is replaced by a triangular polygon joining vertices ...
