Cubic-octahedral honeycomb honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from cube, truncated octahedron cells, in a triangular antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . It contains an H2 subgroup tetrahexagonal tiling alternating square and hexagonal faces, with Coxeter diagram or half symmetry : A radial subgroup symmetry, index 6, of this honeycomb can be constructed with [(4,3,4,3)], , represented by a trigonal trapezohedron fundamental domain, and Coxeter diagram . This lower symmetry can be extended by restoring one mirror as . The truncated cubic-octahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated octahedron, truncated cube, rhombicuboctahedron, truncated cuboctahedron cells,
Honeycomb (geometry) Honeycomb (geometry) In geometry, a honeycomb is a "space filling" or "close packing" of polyhedral or higher-dimensional "cells", so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical "tiling" or "tessellation" in any number of dimensions. Its dimension can be clarified as "n"-honeycomb for a honeycomb of "n"-dimensional space. Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space. They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces, such as hyperbolic honeycombs. Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space. There are infinitely many honeycombs, which have
