Demihypercube

In geometry, demihypercubes (also called n-demicubes, n-hemicubes, and half measure polytopes) are a class of n-polytopes constructed from alternation of an n-hypercube, labeled as hγn for being half of the hypercube family, γn.

Higher forms do not have all regular facets but are all uniform polytopes.

The vertices and edges of a demihypercube form two copies of the halved cube graph.

Thorold Gosset described the demipenteract in his 1900 publication listing all of the regular and semiregular figures in n-dimensions above three.

The demihypercubes can be represented by extended Schläfli symbols of the form h{4,3,...,3} as half the vertices of {4,3,...,3}.

[2] Constructions as alternated orthotopes have the same topology, but can be stretched with different lengths in n-axes of symmetry.

It has three sets of edge lengths, and scalene triangle faces.

Alternation of the n -cube yields one of two n -demicubes , as in this 3-dimensional illustration of the two tetrahedra that arise as the 3-demicubes of the 3-cube .
