Extract

It is well known that every convex polytope in d-dimensional euclidean space Ed can be approximated arbitrarily closely, in the Hausdorff sense, by convex polytopes whose faces are simplexes (see [2, Section 4.5]). In this paper we prove some generalizations of this result, investigating the possibility of approximating a given d-polytope (d-dimensional convex polytope) by polytopes whose facets (faces of d − 1 dimensions) are all of some prescribed type.
