Subbotin V.I. Composite RR-polytopes with conditional edges ... P. 263-272

It is known that the class of regular-faced polyhedra in $E^3$ with conditional edges, which generalizes the class of Johnson polyhedra, contains, in particular, polyhedra with symmetric rhombic face stars of some vertices; however, the rhombuses of the vertex stars can only have an acute angle of 60 degrees. In this paper, we consider a class of polyhedra (the so-called $RR$-polyhedra) that, in addition to regular faces, contain rhombic face stars with angles not necessarily equal to 60 degrees. Previously, the author found twenty-four RR-polyhedra with regular faces of the same type and proved the completeness of the list of such polyhedra. A complete list of forty-six composite $RR$-polyhedra with regular faces of various types, lacking conditional edges and conditional vertices, was also found. In this paper, the author continues the study of $RR$-polyhedra: a complete list of composite RR-polyhedra with conditional edges is found. Since the $RR$-polyhedron also has irregular faces (rhombuses), a different definition of a composite $RR$-polyhedron (compared to the definition of a composite regular-faced polyhedron) is used in this work.

Keywords: RR polyhedron, a compound polyhedron with conditional edges, a symmetric rhombic vertex
