Demicube
In geometry, demihypercubes (also called ''n-demicubes'', ''n-hemicubes'', and ''half measure polytopes'') are a class of ''n''-polytopes constructed from alternation of an ''n''-hypercube, labeled as ''hγn'' for being ''half'' of the hypercube family, ''γn''. Half of the vertices are deleted and new facets are formed. The 2''n'' facets become 2''n'' (''n''−1)-demicubes, and 2''n'' (''n''−1)-simplex facets are formed in place of the deleted vertices. They have been named with a ''demi-'' prefix to each hypercube name: demicube, demitesseract, etc. The demicube is identical to the regular tetrahedron, and the demitesseract is identical to the regular 16-cell. The demipenteract is considered ''semiregular'' for having only regular facets. Higher forms do not have all regular facets but are all uniform polytopes. The vertices and edges of a demihypercube form two copies of the halved cube graph. An ''n''-demicube has inversion symmetry if ''n'' is even. Discovery ...

Halved Cube Graph
In graph theory, the halved cube graph or half cube graph of dimension is the graph of the demihypercube, formed by connecting pairs of vertices at distance exactly two from each other in the hypercube graph. That is, it is the half-square of the hypercube. This connectivity pattern produces two isomorphic graphs, disconnected from each other, each of which is the halved cube graph. Equivalent constructions The construction of the halved cube graph can be reformulated in terms of binary numbers. The vertices of a hypercube may be labeled by binary numbers in such a way that two vertices are adjacent exactly when they differ in a single bit. The demicube may be constructed from the hypercube as the convex hull of the subset of binary numbers with an even number of nonzero bits (the evil numbers), and its edges connect pairs of numbers whose Hamming distance is exactly two. It is also possible to construct the halved cube graph from a lower-dimensional hypercube graph, withou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Demipenteract
In Five-dimensional space, five-dimensional geometry, a demipenteract or 5-demicube is a semiregular 5-polytope, constructed from a ''5-hypercube'' (penteract) with Alternation (geometry), alternated vertices removed. It was discovered by Thorold Gosset. Since it was the only Semiregular polytope, semiregular 5-polytope (made of more than one type of regular Facet (geometry), facets), he called it a Semiregular polytope, 5-ic semi-regular. Emanuel Lodewijk Elte, E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM5 for a 5-dimensional ''half measure'' polytope. Coxeter named this polytope as 121 from its Coxeter diagram, which has branches of length 2, 1 and 1 with a ringed node on one of the short branches, and Schläfli symbol \left\ or . It exists in the semiregular k 21 polytope, k21 polytope family as 121 with the Gosset polytopes: Gosset 2 21 polytope, 221, Gosset 3 21 polytope, 321, and Gosset 4 21 polytope, 421.

16-cell
In geometry, the 16-cell is the regular convex 4-polytope (four-dimensional analogue of a Platonic solid) with Schläfli symbol . It is one of the six regular convex 4-polytopes first described by the Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli in the mid-19th century. It is also called C16, hexadecachoron, or hexdecahedroid.Matila Ghyka, ''The Geometry of Art and Life'' (1977), p.68 It is the 4-dimensional member of an infinite family of polytopes called cross-polytopes, ''orthoplexes'', or ''hyperoctahedrons'' which are analogous to the octahedron in three dimensions. It is Coxeter's \beta_4 polytope. The dual polytope is the tesseract (4-cube), which it can be combined with to form a compound figure. The cells of the 16-cell are dual to the 16 vertices of the tesseract. Geometry The 16-cell is the second in the sequence of 6 convex regular 4-polytopes (in order of size and complexity). Each of its 4 successor convex regular 4-polytopes can be constructed as the convex hull of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coxeter Plane
In mathematics, a Coxeter element is an element of an irreducible Coxeter group which is a product of all simple reflections. The product depends on the order in which they are taken, but different orderings produce conjugate elements, which have the same order. This order is known as the Coxeter number. They are named after British-Canadian geometer H.S.M. Coxeter, who introduced the groups in 1934 as abstractions of reflection groups. Definitions Note that this article assumes a finite Coxeter group. For infinite Coxeter groups, there are multiple conjugacy classes of Coxeter elements, and they have infinite order. There are many different ways to define the Coxeter number of an irreducible root system. *The Coxeter number is the order of any Coxeter element;. *The Coxeter number is where is the rank, and is the number of reflections. In the crystallographic case, is half the number of roots; and is the dimension of the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra. *If the h ...

Tetrahedron
In geometry, a tetrahedron (: tetrahedra or tetrahedrons), also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular Face (geometry), faces, six straight Edge (geometry), edges, and four vertex (geometry), vertices. The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polytope, convex polyhedra. The tetrahedron is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a Euclidean geometry, Euclidean simplex, and may thus also be called a 3-simplex. The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid (geometry), pyramid, which is a polyhedron with a flat polygon base and triangular faces connecting the base to a common point. In the case of a tetrahedron, the base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base), so a tetrahedron is also known as a "triangular pyramid". Like all convex polyhedra, a tetrahedron can be folded from a single sheet of paper. It has two such net (polyhedron), nets. For any tetrahedron there exists a sphere (called th ...

Uniform Polytope
In geometry, a uniform polytope of dimension three or higher is a vertex-transitive polytope bounded by uniform Facet (mathematics), facets. Here, "vertex-transitive" means that it has symmetries taking every vertex to every other vertex; the same must also be true within each lower-dimensional face of the polytope. In two dimensions (and for two-dimensional faces of higher-dimensional polytopes) a stronger definition is used: only the regular polygons are considered as uniform, disallowing polygons that alternate between two different lengths of edges. This is a generalization of the older category of semiregular polytope, ''semiregular'' polytopes, but also includes the regular polytopes. Further, star regular faces and vertex figures (star polygons) are allowed, which greatly expand the possible solutions. A strict definition requires uniform polytopes to be finite, while a more expansive definition allows uniform honeycombs (2-dimensional uniform tiling, tilings and higher di ...

2-polytope
In geometry, a polygon () is a plane figure made up of line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain. The segments of a closed polygonal chain are called its '' edges'' or ''sides''. The points where two edges meet are the polygon's '' vertices'' or ''corners''. An ''n''-gon is a polygon with ''n'' sides; for example, a triangle is a 3-gon. A simple polygon is one which does not intersect itself. More precisely, the only allowed intersections among the line segments that make up the polygon are the shared endpoints of consecutive segments in the polygonal chain. A simple polygon is the boundary of a region of the plane that is called a ''solid polygon''. The interior of a solid polygon is its ''body'', also known as a ''polygonal region'' or ''polygonal area''. In contexts where one is concerned only with simple and solid polygons, a ''polygon'' may refer only to a simple polygon or to a solid polygon. A polygonal chain may cross over itself, creating star polygons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Digon
In geometry, a bigon, digon, or a ''2''-gon, is a polygon with two sides (edge (geometry), edges) and two Vertex (geometry), vertices. Its construction is Degeneracy (mathematics), degenerate in a Euclidean plane because either the two sides would coincide or one or both would have to be curved; however, it can be easily visualised in elliptic space. It may also be viewed as a representation of a graph theory, graph with two vertices, see "Generalized polygon". A regular digon has both angles equal and both sides equal and is represented by Schläfli symbol . It may be constructed on a spherical geometry, sphere as a pair of 180 degree arcs connecting antipodal points, when it forms a spherical lune, lune. The digon is the simplest abstract polytope of rank 2. A truncation (geometry), truncated ''digon'', t is a square, . An Alternation (geometry), alternated digon, h is a monogon, . In different fields In Euclidean geometry The digon can have one of two visual representat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Simplex
In geometry, a simplex (plural: simplexes or simplices) is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimensions. The simplex is so-named because it represents the simplest possible polytope in any given dimension. For example, * a 0-dimensional simplex is a point, * a 1-dimensional simplex is a line segment, * a 2-dimensional simplex is a triangle, * a 3-dimensional simplex is a tetrahedron, and * a 4-dimensional simplex is a 5-cell. Specifically, a -simplex is a -dimensional polytope that is the convex hull of its vertices. More formally, suppose the points u_0, \dots, u_k are affinely independent, which means that the vectors u_1 - u_0,\dots, u_k-u_0 are linearly independent. Then, the simplex determined by them is the set of points C = \left\. A regular simplex is a simplex that is also a regular polytope. A regular -simplex may be constructed from a regular -simplex by connecting a new vertex to all original vertices by the common ...

Edge (geometry)
In geometry, an edge is a particular type of line segment joining two vertex (geometry), vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope. In a polygon, an edge is a line segment on the boundary, and is often called a polygon side. In a polyhedron or more generally a polytope, an edge is a line segment where two Face (geometry), faces (or polyhedron sides) meet. A segment joining two vertices while passing through the interior or exterior is not an edge but instead is called a diagonal. An ''edge'' may also be an infinite line (geometry), line separating two half-planes. The ''sides'' of a plane angle are semi-infinite Half-line (geometry), half-lines (or rays). Relation to edges in graphs In graph theory, an Edge (graph theory), edge is an abstract object connecting two vertex (graph theory), graph vertices, unlike polygon and polyhedron edges which have a concrete geometric representation as a line segment.
