Short description: Cube with notched surfaces


The Chazelle polyhedron

Chazelle polyhedron is a non-convex polyhedron constructed by removing pieces of wedges from both top and bottom of a cube's sides, leaving the notches. Its saddle surface can be considered as the set of line segments that lie forming the hyperbolic paraboloid with an equation z=xy.[1] This polyhedron is named after Bernard Chazelle.[2]

Originally, the Chazelle polyhedron was intended to prove the quadratic lower bound of complexity on the decomposition of convex polyhedra in three dimensions.[1] The later applications are used regarding the problem related to the construction of lower bounds as in the binary space partition,[3] bounding volume hierarchy for collision detection,[4] decomposability of fat-polyhedra,[5] and optimal triangulation in mesh generation with its element's size.[6]
