Simple equations giving shapes of various convex polyhedra: the regular polyhedra and polyhedra composed of crystallographically low-index planes
نویسنده
چکیده
Simple equations are derived that give the shapes of various convex polyhedra. The five regular polyhedra, called Platonic solids (the tetrahedron, hexahedron or cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron), and polyhedra composed of crystallographically low-index planes are treated. The equations also give shapes that are nearly polyhedral with round edges, or intermediate shapes between a sphere and convex polyhedra, and which are observed as the shapes of small particles or precipitates in materials.

Modelling Decision Problems Via Birkhoff Polyhedra
A compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. Directed Hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. Sets of extrema of Birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
متن کاملExtended Superspheres for Shape Approximation of Near Polyhedral Nanoparticles and a Measure of the Degree of Polyhedrality
Crystalline nanoparticles or nanoprecipitates with a cubic structure often have near polyhedral shapes composed of low-index planes with {100}, {111} and {110}. To consider such near polyhedral shapes, algebraic formulas of extended superspheres that can express intermediate shapes between spheres and various polyhedra have been presented. Four extended superspheres, (i) {100} regular-hexahedra...
متن کاملSuperspheres: Intermediate Shapes between Spheres and Polyhedra
Using an x-y-z coordinate system, the equations of the superspheres have been extended to describe intermediate shapes between a sphere and various convex polyhedra. Near-polyhedral shapes composed of {100}, {111} and {110} surfaces with round edges are treated in the present study, where {100}, {111} and {110} are the Miller indices of crystals with cubic structures. The three parameters p, a ...

Pathogenic infection in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. is common and there is a breed specific response regarding tolerance. Observations reveal the possibility of differential response by haemocytes to microbial infection in different breeds. Hence, the susceptibility of three eco-races of tasar silkworm viz. Daba, Sarihan and Raily to Antheraea mylitta Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus...
متن کاملParallelogram-faced isohedra with edges in mirror-planes
Regular (or Platonic) polyhedra have been studied since antiquity, and many other kinds of polyhedra with various symmetry properties have been investigated since then. These include the traditional Archimedean polyhedra (regular-faced with congruent vertex gures), isohedra (polyhedra with faces all equivalent under symmetries of the polyhedron), isogonal polyhedra (all vertices of which are eq...
