Extract

In 1891 Victor Eberhard proved the following theorem concerning the number pk(P) of k-gonal facets of simple polytopes P, [4].

Eberhard's Theorem. For each k ≥ 3, k ≠ 6, let pk be a non-negative integer. Then there exists a simple 3-polytope P such that pk(P) = pk (k ≠ 6), if, and only if,
