Abstract
regular polytopes are combinatorial structures that generalize the familiar regular polytopes. The terminology adopted is patterned after the classical theory. Many symmetric figures discussed in earlier sections could be treated (and their structure clarified) in this more general framework. Much of the research in this area is quite recent. For a comprehensive account see McMullen and Schulte [McS02].
