It is almost twenty years since Branko Grünbaum lamented that the ‘original sin’ in the theory of polyhedra is that from Euclid onwards “the writers failed to define what are the ‘polyhedra’ among which they are finding the ‘regular’ ones” ([1, p. 43]). Various definitions of ‘regular’ can be found in the literature with a condition of convexity often included (e.g. [2, p. 301], [3, p. 77], [4, p. 47], [5, p. 435], [6, p. 16]). The condition of convexity is usually cited to exclude regular self-intersecting polyhedra, i.e. the Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra, such as the ‘great dodecahedron’ consisting of twelve intersecting pentagonal faces shown in Figure 1 with one face shaded. Richeson also notes ([4, pp. 47-48]) that, for a particular definition of ‘regular’, convexity is needed to exclude the ‘punched-in’ icosahedron shown in Figure 2.
自布兰科-格伦鲍姆(Branko Grünbaum)感叹多面体理论的 "原罪 "在于从欧几里得开始 "作者们未能定义什么是'多面体',而他们要在其中找出'正则'多面体"([1, 第 43 页])以来,已经过去将近二十年了。文献中关于 "正则 "的定义多种多样,通常都包含凸性条件(例如 [2, p. 301],[3, p. 77],[4, p. 47],[5, p. 435],[6, p. 16])。凸性条件通常被用来排除规则的自相交多面体,即开普勒-平素多面体,如图 1 所示由十二个相交的五边形面组成的 "大十二面体",其中一个面是阴影。Richeson 还指出([4, 第 47-48 页]),根据 "正则 "的特定定义,凸性是排除图 2 所示的 "打孔 "二十面体的必要条件。
