Which polyhedra have an even number of faces touching each vertex?

339 Views Asked by At

A two-coloring of the faces of a polyhedron is always possible when an even number of faces meet at each vertex. http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/colorings.html

Is there a name for this property? The number of faces that meet at a vertex? Or more specifically, a name for polyhedra with an even number? I don't know the terminology to use to find a list of polyhedra that have it. I've found octrahedron, cuboctahedron, and icosidodecahedron, but that's it. In other words, I'm looking for all the polyhedra that can be painted with only 2 colors.

You could call them two-colorable polyhedra.

Some other two-colorable polyhedra are the Csaszar polyhedron, the disdyakis dodecahedron, Escher's solid, the tetrakis hexahedron, various antiprisms, and a lot of the Johnson solids.
