Bitruncation
Bitruncation
Operation in Euclidean geometry
In geometry, a bitruncation is an operation on regular polytopes. It represents a truncation beyond rectification.[citation needed] The original edges are lost completely and the original faces remain as smaller copies of themselves.
Bitruncated regular polytopes can be represented by an extended Schläfli symbol notation t1,2{p,q,...} or 2t{p,q,...}.
