9-cube. In geometry, a 9-cube is a nine- dimensional hypercube with 512 vertices, 2304 edges, 4608 square faces, 5376 cubic cells, 4032 tesseract 4-faces, 2016 5-cube 5-faces, 672 6-cube 6-faces, 144 7-cube 7-faces, and 18 8-cube 8-faces . It can be named by its Schläfli symbol {4,3 7 }, being composed of three 8-cubes around each 7-face.
Equivalently, a convex set or a convex region is a subset that intersects every line into a single line segment (possibly empty). For example, a solid cube is a convex set, but anything that is hollow or has an indent, for example, a crescent shape, is not convex. The boundary of a convex set in the plane is always a convex curve.
Rectified 9-cubes. In nine-dimensional geometry, a rectified 9-cube is a convex uniform 9-polytope, being a rectification of the regular 9-cube . There are 9 rectifications of the 9-cube. The zeroth is the 9-cube itself, and the 8th is the dual 9-orthoplex. Vertices of the rectified 9-cube are located at the edge-centers of the 9-orthoplex.
Catalan solid. A toroidal polyhedron. In geometry, a polyhedron ( pl.: polyhedra or polyhedrons; from Greek πολύ (poly-) 'many', and ἕδρον (-hedron) 'base, seat') is a three-dimensional shape with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices . A convex polyhedron is a polyhedron that bounds a convex set.
Delaunay triangulation. In computational geometry, a Delaunay triangulation or Delone triangulation of a set of points in the plane subdivides their convex hull [1] into triangles whose circumcircles do not contain any of the points. This maximizes the size of the smallest angle in any of the triangles, and tends to avoid sliver triangles .
convex. In geometry, a demienneract or 9-demicube is a uniform 9-polytope, constructed from the 9-cube, with alternated vertices removed. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes . E. L. Elte identified it in 1912 as a semiregular polytope, labeling it as HM 9 for a 9-dimensional half measure ...
Uniform 9-polytope. In nine-dimensional geometry, a nine-dimensional polytope or 9-polytope is a polytope contained by 8-polytope facets. Each 7-polytope ridge being shared by exactly two 8-polytope facets . A uniform 9-polytope is one which is vertex-transitive, and constructed from uniform 8-polytope facets .
Platonic solid. In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are congruent (identical in shape and size) regular polygons (all angles congruent and all edges congruent), and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.
