 Manifold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Note that it is possible to construct a circle by "gluing" together a single piece of the line; this does not produce a chart, since a portion of the circle will be mapped to both "glued" regions at once.
Manifolds need not be connected (all in "one piece"); thus a pair of separate circles is also a manifold.
And they need not be finite; thus a parabola is a manifold.

 Natural Coordinates
The length of a base vector in cubic coordinates has been established at 1, since this establishes the length of the edges of the smallest cube with vertices at integer coordinates at 1.
It is common to abbreviate graphs in Cubic Coordinates to the surface of a plane by omitting the coordinate of one dimension orthogonal to the plane.
Cubic and Natural vectors may all be scaled by multiplying each coordinate by the same scalar value.

 Pseudo Rhombicuboctahedra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The pseudo-rhombicuboctahedron is not classified as a semi-regular polyhedron, because the essence (and beauty) of the semi-regular polyhedra is not about local properties of each vertex, but the symmetry operations under which which the entire object appears unchanged.
He discovered a 14th semiregular polyhedron [figure of pseudo-rhombicuboctahedron] which differs from the one shown in [figure of rhombicuboctahedron] only in that the upper part, consisting of 5 squares and 4 equilateral triangles, is rotated through an angle of pi/4.
This new polyhedron was first described (as far as I know) in 1994 by R. Hughes Jones (see the references).

Let us assume, for the moment, that we are investigating a convex uniform polyhedron, such that each of its vertices is incident to m faces, with the ith face being a regular ni‐gon, customarily denoted by the Schläfli symbol {ni}.
An polyhedron is orientable if its faces may be coherently oriented, that is, assigned orientations in such a way that the orientations induced on an edge common to two faces are opposite.
The number of the polyhedron vertices may be readily found by dividing the order of the kaleidoscope symmetry group by the number of copies of adjacent Schwarz triangles which share a vertex, i.

 Crystallographic Topology - Lattice Complexes
The tabulation of cubic point configurations by Koch (1984) lists the locations of all point positions with fewer than three degrees of freedom related to sphere packing and Dirichlet partitions within the cubic space group family as well.
This forms a convex polyhedron around the origin site point in which all points within the polyhedron are closer to the origin site point than to any other site of the complex.
Thus the bcc rhombohedral dodecahedron coordination polyhedron (12 faces, 24 edges, 14 vertices) is not dual to the bcc truncated octahedron Dirichlet polyhedron (Loeb,1970), and it serves as a classic counterexample to the postulated duality.

The cubic IPMS's of interest are the P surface and D surface, respectively, which are adjoint surfaces related by a Bonnet transformation with an association parameter of =BC/2.
The cubic IPMS corresponding to the primitive cubic lattice (i.e., the P surface) requires the carbon atom decoration of each octant to be achiral, i.e., to have planes of symmetry in addition to the three-fold axis.
The spectrum of a polyhedron P or of a tiling T is the spectrum of the graph corresponding to P or T. Relations between hexagonal tilings of the torus and (3,6)-cages (and related objects), and between their spectra, are discussed.

 Polyhedron, Polyhedra, Polytopes - Numericana
The dual of a polyhedron is the polyhedron obtained by switching the roles of vertices and faces: Edges of the dual connects nodes associated with adjacent faces of the original polyhedron (dual polyhedroa have the same number of edges).
The most "generic" way is to use for polyhedra the same naming scheme as for polygons, by counting the number or their faces: Thus, a tetrahedron has 4 faces, a pentahedron has 5, a dotriacontahedron (also called triacontakaidihedron) has 32 faces.
In such families, the polyhedron is named using the adjective corresponding to the name of the polygon it's built on (e.g., "hexagonal").

 Negative Poisson's ratio foam
Specifically, in an isotropic material (a material which does not have a preferred orientation) the allowable range of Poisson's ratio is from -1.0 to +0.5, based on thermodynamic considerations of strain energy in the theory of elasticity(1).
It is believed by many that materials with negative values of Poisson's ratio are unknown (1); however Love (2) presents a single example of cubic 'single crystal' pyrite as having a Poisson's ratio of -0.14; he suggests the effect may result from a twinned crystal.

A prism is a polyhedron that has two congruent parallel polygons as its bases.
The units of volume are called "cubic units." Cubic feet, cubic meters, cubic inches, cubic yards, cubic centimeters--these are all examples of units of volume.
If we substitute the values into the volume formula, we find that the volume of the prism is 1,680 cubic inches.

To visualize a Klein polyhedron, we take a finite piece near the origin and flatten the piece onto a plane to produce images such as in the next section.
The main point of interest is that the patterns are periodic iff the planes are related to a totally real cubic number field.
This is the first of a series of examples (except example 10) where we run through the totally real cubic fields in order of discriminant as listed in Appendix B of Cohen's book A course in computational algebraic number theory, starting with discriminant 169.

 Medial Surfaces of Polyhedra and Voronoi Diagrams of Lines
If the polyhedron is convex, then the medial surface is made up entirely of planar polygonal patches, meeting in straight line segments.
An offset surface for a polyhedron is the set of points at a given distance r from its boundary, or equivalently, the boundary of the Minkowski sum of the polyhedron and a ball of radius r.
When r=0, the offset surface is the original polyhedron; as we increase r, the vertices and edges of the offset surface trace out the edges and faces of the medial axis.

 Nonsplitting Macro Patches for Implicit Cubic Spline Surfaces (Abstract)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Macro patches are important for generating quadric or cubic implicit spline surfaces from the input of a polyhedron.
The NMP's are based on a necessary and sufficient condition for nonsplitting constructions of implicit cubic spline surfaces.
Each cubic patch obtained by this technique best approximates, in a least-squares sense, a quadric patch from a single algebraic component of a monotone polynomial derived from the input data.

Abstract: We present an efficient algorithm to construct an inner simplicial hull \Sigma based on a given polyhedron P in three dimensional space.
Piecewise smooth C 1 and C 2 A-patches can then be constructed within \Sigma to approximate polyhedron P. An A-patch is a smooth and functional zero-contour patch of a trivariate polynomial in Bernstein-B'ezier (BB) form defined within a tetrahedron.
The scheme can be also compared to polyhedral subdivision, in the sense that a polyhedron P can be used as...
