The regular tessellation {6,3} consisting of regular hexagons (i.e., a hexagonal grid). In general, the term honeycomb is used to refer to a tessellation in n dimensions for ...

The small cubicuboctahedron is the uniform polyhedron with Maeder index 13 (Maeder 1997), Wenninger index 69 (Wenninger 1989), Coxeter index 38 (Coxeter et al. 1954), and ...

A stellation is said to be fully supported if all its included cells are supported, i.e., if all its bottom faces are covered by their adjacent cells. In other words, every ...

A hexagonal antiprism is an antiprism having hexagons as its bases. A stretched hexagonal antiprism is the convex hull of the tetrahedron 3-compound. The dual polyhedron of ...

A term meaning "spinning top" in Greek which was coined by J. H. Conway by e-mail in the Polyhedron Discussion List as a term for kite-shaped quadrilaterals. Formally, a ...

A triacontahedron is a 30-faced polyhedron. Examples include the 14-gonal antiprism, biaugmented truncated cube (Johnson solid J_(67)), 15-gonal dipyramid, 28-gonal prism, ...

A trigonal trapezohedron, also called a trigonal deltohedron, is a polyhedron formed by six congruent rhombi. Special cases include the cube, acute golden rhombohedron, and ...

A closed three-dimensional figure (which may, according to some terminology conventions, be self-intersecting). Kern and Bland (1948, p. 18) define a solid as any limited ...

A hexagonal prism is a prism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides. It is an octahedron. The regular right hexagonal prism is a space-filling polyhedron. ...

Let P be a primitive polytope with eight vertices. Then there is a unimodular map that maps P to the polyhedron whose vertices are (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 1), ...
