Face-regular bifaced polyhedra (Q5935437)

The authors consider polyhedra with two types of faces: \(p_a\) \(a\)-gons and \(p_b\) \(b\)-gons. Moreover, these polyhedra satisfy one of the following conditions: \(\bullet\) \(aR_i\): each \(a\)-gonal face is adjacent to \(i\) \(a\)-gonal faces; \(\bullet\) \(bR_j\): each \(b\)-gonal face is adjacent to \(j\) \(b\)-gonal faces. If the graph \(G_a\) (resp. \(G_b)\) of the edge-adjacency of \(a\)-faces (resp. \(b\)-faces) is regular, then the polyhedra are called face-regular bifaced polyhedra. Fullerenes are well-known similar polyhedra. Under the assumption \(3\leq a<b\), \(0<p_a\), \(0\leq p_b\) the authors classify these polyhedra except for certain cases of type \(aR_0\) and \(aR_1\).
