Spherical Cube
A cube or regular hexahedron is a three-dimensional solid object in geometry, which is bounded by six congruent square faces, a type of polyhedron. It has twelve congruent edges and eight vertices. It is a type of parallelepiped, with pairs of parallel opposite faces, and more specifically a rhombohedron, with congruent edges, and a rectangular cuboid, with right angles between pairs of intersecting faces and pairs of intersecting edges. It is an example of many classes of polyhedra: Platonic solid, regular polyhedron, parallelohedron, zonohedron, and plesiohedron. The dual polyhedron of a cube is the regular octahedron. The cube can be represented in many ways, one of which is the graph known as the cubical graph. It can be constructed by using the Cartesian product of graphs. The cube is the three-dimensional hypercube, a family of polytopes also including the two-dimensional square and four-dimensional tesseract. A cube with unit side length is the canonical unit of volume in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hanner Polytope
In geometry, a Hanner polytope is a convex polytope constructed recursively by Cartesian product and polar dual operations. Hanner polytopes are named after Swedish mathematician Olof Hanner, who introduced them in 1956.. Construction The Hanner polytopes are constructed recursively by the following rules:. *A line segment is a one-dimensional Hanner polytope. *The Cartesian product of every two Hanner polytopes is another Hanner polytope, whose dimension is the sum of the dimensions of the two given polytopes. *The dual of a Hanner polytope is another Hanner polytope of the same dimension. They are exactly the polytopes that can be constructed using only these rules: that is, every Hanner polytope can be formed from line segments by a sequence of product and dual operations. Alternatively and equivalently to the polar dual operation, the Hanner polytopes may be constructed by Cartesian products and direct sums, the dual of the Cartesian products. This direct sum operation comb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
