Abstract

We know that the polyhedra corresponding to the Platonic solids are equivelar. In this article we have classified completely all the simplicial equivelar polyhedra on \leq 11 vertices. There are exactly 27 such polyhedra. For each $n \geq -4$, we have classified all the (p, )q such that there exists an equivelar polyhedron of type $\{p, q\}$ and of Euler characteristic n. We have also constructed five types of equivelar polyhedra of Euler characteristic -2m, for each $m \geq 2$.
