Apeirohedron
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An apeirohedron is a polyhedron having infinitely many faces. Like an ordinary polyhedron it forms an unbounded surface. But where an ordinary polyhedral surface is unbounded because it folds round to close back on itself, an apeirohedron is unbounded because its surface never ends.
Two main types have been studied:
- Skew polyhedra.
- Tilings or tessellations of the plane.
