Simplicial polytope

In geometry, a simplicial polytope is a polytope whose facets are all simplices. For example, a simplicial polyhedron in three dimensions contains only triangular faces[1] and corresponds via Steinitz's theorem to a maximal planar graph.

They are topologically dual to simple polytopes. Polytopes which are both simple and simplicial are either simplices or two-dimensional polygons.

Examples

Simplicial polyhedra include:

Simplicial tilings:

Simplicial 4-polytopes include:

  • convex regular 4-polytope
  • Dual convex uniform honeycombs:
    • Disphenoid tetrahedral honeycomb
    • Dual of cantitruncated cubic honeycomb
    • Dual of omnitruncated cubic honeycomb
    • Dual of cantitruncated alternated cubic honeycomb

Simplicial higher polytope families:

gollark: This is why ALL are to utilize zig.
gollark: ```c#include <sys/socket.h>#include <sys/types.h> #include <netinet/in.h>#include <stdio.h>#include <string.h>#include <sys/select.h>#include <fcntl.h>int main() { int apion = 0; int metaapion[65536] = {0}; for (int i = 0x0; i <= 0x10000; i++) { int sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); fcntl(sock, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK); if (sock <= -1) { perror("this is not an effective way to handle errors"); } struct sockaddr_in addr; memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)); addr.sin_family = AF_INET; addr.sin_port = htons(i); int b = bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *) &addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)); if (b <= -1) { perror("still bad, actually"); } int z = listen(sock, 0xFFF); if (z <= -1) { perror("🐝"); } printf("%d\n", i); metaapion[apion] = sock; apion++; } while (1) { fd_set fds; FD_ZERO(&fds); unsigned short metaaaaapion = 0; while (1) { if (metaapion[metaaaaapion]) { FD_SET(metaapion[metaaaaapion], &fds); metaaaaapion++; } else break; } signed long long int e = select(apion, &fds, &fds, &fds, NULL); if (e < 0) { perror("contingency 44 engaged"); } while (1) { if (metaapion[metaaaaapion]) { if ( FD_ISSET(metaapion[metaaaaapion], &fds) ) { accept(metaapion[metaaaaapion], 0, 0); } metaaaaapion++; } else break; } }}```*Apparently* someone limited file descriptors and this doesn't work.
gollark: Actually, \🐝.
gollark: "Done".
gollark: Possibly.
