POLYTOPE

Polytope

In elementary geometry, a polytope is a geometric object with flat sides, which exists in any general number of dimensions. A polygon is a polytope in two dimensions, a polyhedron in three dimensions, and so on in higher dimensions . Some theories further generalize the idea to include such objects as unbounded polytopes, and abstract polytopes.
