Nonconvex Polyhedra
In geometry, a uniform star polyhedron is a self-intersecting uniform polyhedron. They are also sometimes called nonconvex polyhedra to imply self-intersecting. Each polyhedron can contain either star polygon faces, star polygon vertex figures, or both. The complete set of 57 nonprismatic uniform star polyhedra includes the 4 regular ones, called the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedron, Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra, 14 Quasiregular polyhedron#Nonconvex examples, quasiregular ones, and 39 semiregular ones. There are also two infinite sets of Uniform_polyhedron#.28p_2_2.29_Prismatic_.5Bp.2C2.5D.2C_I2.28p.29_family_.28Dph_dihedral_symmetry.29, ''uniform star prisms'' and ''uniform star antiprisms''. Just as (nondegenerate) star polygons (which have density (polytope), polygon density greater than 1) correspond to circular polygons with overlapping Tessellation, tiles, star polyhedra that do not pass through the center have polytope density greater than 1, and correspond to spherical polyhe ...
