Bidiakis cube Bidiakis cube In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Bidiakis cube is a 3-regular graph with 12 vertices and 18 edges. The Bidiakis cube is a cubic Hamiltonian graph and can be defined by the LCF notation [-6,4,-4]. The Bidiakis cube can also be constructed from a cube by adding edges across the top and bottom faces which connect the centres of opposite sides of the faces. The two additional edges need to be perpendicular to each other. With this construction, the Bidiakis cube is a polyhedral graph, and can be realized as a convex polyhedron. Therefore, by Steinitz's
Compound of 5-cube and 5-orthoplex cells and edges. Mid-edges of the 5-cube cross mid-cell in the 16-cell, and vice versa. It can be seen as the 5-dimensional analogue of a compound of cube and octahedron. The 42 Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the compound are. The convex hull of the vertices makes the dual of rectified 5-orthoplex. The intersection of the 5-cube and 5-orthoplex compound is the uniform birectified 5-cube: = ∩ . The compound can be seen in projection as the union of the two polytope graphs. The convex hulll as the dual of the rectified 5-orthoplex will have the same vertices, but
