Simplicial polytope

In geometry, a simplicial polytope is a polytope whose facets are all simplices. It is topologically dual to simple polytopes. Polytopes that are both simple and simplicial are either simplices or two-dimensional polygons.

In the case of a three-dimensional simplicial polytope, known as the simplicial polyhedron, the polytope contains only triangular faces of any type. These polyhedra include bipyramids, gyroelongated bipyramids, deltahedra (wherein the faces are equilateral triangles, and Kleetope of polyhedra. The simplicial polyhedron corresponds via Steinitz's theorem to a maximal planar graph.

For a simplicial tiling, examples are triangular tiling and Laves tiling.

Simplicial 4-polytopes include:
