%N Number of convex regular polytopes with n hyperfaces (n>2) or n vertices.

%C The minimum number of hyperfaces required for a convex polytope is 3, and the only convex polytope with 3 hyperfaces is a triangle. - _Jianing Song_, Sep 17 2018

%C From _Rajan Murthy_, Apr 08 2022: (Start)

%C For n = 1,2,3 point(s) can only be arranged in (n-1)-dimensional simplices. a(1)=a(2)=a(3) = 1. For n = 1,2,3 the point(s) can only be arranged in (n-1)-dimensional simplices. a(1)=a(2)=a(3) = 1.

%C For higher n, the figures based on n vertices are duals of the figures based on n hyperfaces. (End)

%F a(3) = 1; a(n) = 2 if n = 4 or n is odd and >= 5; a(n) = 4 if n = 12, 20, 24, 120, 600 or a power of 2 >= 8; a(n) = 3 otherwise. - _Jianing Song_, Sep 17 2018

%e a(8) = 4 because the regular polytopes with 8 faces are the octagon, the octahedron, the four-dimensional cube and the 7-dimensional simplex.

%e From _Rajan Murthy_, Apr 08 2022: (Start)

%e For n = 8, points may be arranged in an octagon, a cube, a 4-dimensional orthoplex, or a 7-dimensional simplex, so a(8) = 4.

%e For n = 12, there are a(12) = 4 regular polytopes with 12 hyperfaces. They, and their duals with 12 points, are:

%e 12 hyperfaces 12 points

%e dodecagon dodecagon

%e dodecahedron icosahedron

%e 6-cube 6-D orthoplex

%e 11-D simplex 11-D simplex
