Compounds are defined to be multicovers of a single spot by more than just a single polytope. Sure there are infinitely many such possibilities, even continuously related. So the more interesting case comes up, when there is an overall symmetry (not needed to be the same of the used polytopes), under the action of which the total compound is preserved. Sure, there are slightly shifted copies too, which make up such a symmetrical compound: the center of that shift vector serves for inversonal symmetry. Thus, the symmetrical compounds of real interest would require an overall symmetry, which at least is the same (or probably larger) than that of its components. Examples here are all compounds of dual pairs (which by definition have the same overall symmetry as each component – except for selfduals, where symmetry is increased by the exchange of those 2 components) or even the ones given in the lower part of plate 7 (there, in the first 2 cases, componenets are considered under pyritohedral symmetry only, while the compound symmetry comes out to be full cubical).
Compounds moreover are called uniform, if within the definition of polytopal uniformity we replace vertex transivity by vertex figures transivity. This is because for compounds it might be possible to have still no completely coincident elements of subdimension larger than 0, but having coincident vertices none the less. There, this stated demand asks for some symmetry, which interchanges those coincident vertices of the related components as well.
As an aside one might ask whether this uniformity already requires compounds to be isohedral. This can be answered kind of depending: Consider 2 (or more) vertex coincident isohedral compounds (or polytopes), both of the same edge-length, and take the (mere) compound of those. The above stated demand now would require some symmetry which interchanges the vertex figures of the components. This generally would not work. But if we thereafter would identify coincident vertices, the picture changes. We no longer have coincident vertices with single vertex figures each, but we get single vertices with compound vertex figures. Consequently that additional above requirement brakes down, as there is nothing left to be interchanged. (It only remains the question, whether we still have true compounds, or if we would have changed this status, slightly towards mere polytopes, by the application of identification of coinciding vertices.)
Accordingly, more generally we could consider compounds of (possibly) different components, whenever those components have the same circumradius and moreover are inscribed into a common convex hull, while the subset of components of each type already makes up the full overall symmetry of the total compound, and further all those types of components will have the same edge length. (This will brake down in 2D, as different polygons, with the same edge-length, always have different circumradii.) Just to provide examples:
- cid, seen as uniform compound of an ike with a vertex coincident gad
- gacid, seen as uniform compound of a sissid with a vertex coincident gike
- sicdatrid, seen as uniform compound of a sidtid with 5 vertex coincident cubes (or, equivalently, with a rhom)
- gicdatrid, seen as uniform compound of a gidtid with 5 vertex coincident cubes (or, equivalently, with a rhom)
- cadditradid, seen as uniform compound of a ditdid with 5 vertex coincident cubes (or, equivalently, with a rhom)
- badhidy, seen as uniform compound of a tigaghi with a vertex coincident quit sishi
Note that for such uniform compounds (with identified vertices) the demand on uniformity of individual components would not hold! Just consider the (mere) compound of 12 (scaliform) pentagonal pyramids, vertex-inscribed into an icosahedron (which itself will not belong to that compound). That compound thus even qualifies as isohedral. If it additionally is asked to be uniform, from the damand on vertex figure transitivity it becomes clear that vertices need to be identified. – Thus we then constructed a uniform compound (with identified vertices) from non-uniform components! (In fact a hollow and moreover Grünbaumian one, as triagles are completely coincident by 3 each.)
Thus, as long as vertex identification does not take place, uniform compounds need not only be isogonal (by definition), but come out to be isohedral as well. And likewise their components too will be uniform polytopes only.
A compound can be defined to be regular, just like a polytope, when it is transitive on all sub-dimensional elements. An example of a regular compound within every dimension is the compound of 2 dually aranged simplices.
Moreover, there are further qualifiers of that type, introduced by Coxeter, vertex-regular and (dually) face-regular (or rather using a corresponding qualifier for the (n-1)-dimensional element). These are achieved, when the vertices (resp. the facet-planes) belong to a regular polytope. That is, when the encasing convex hull (resp. the common intersection kernel) would be a regular polytope. Or, again stated in an other way, vertex-regular compounds occure as facetings of regular polytopes, while face-regular compounds occure as stellations of regular polytopes.
For (isohedral) vertex-regular compounds and their duals Coxeter introduced the following notation:
a P [b Q] c Rwhere Q denotes the (regular) component polytopes (therefore, like P and R too, usually written as Schläfli symbol), b is the count of components. If vertex-regular, one has an encasing regular polytope P, the vertices of which will be used by a components each. Conversely, if face(t)-regular, there is a common intersection kernel which is a further regular polytope R, again possibly with its facet-planes being used by c components each. If vertex-regular but not face(t)-regular, the final part behind the closing square bracket will be omitted; conversely, if face(t)-regular but not vertex-regular the part before the opening one is omitted. (Examples will be given below, as far as applicable.
Obviously the full splendor of this notation applies when it is both, vertex- and facet-regular, which Coxeter himself then just calls just "regular". However this term here will be attributed as Coxeter-regular, as it clearly differs from the above mentioned regularity wrt. flag-transitivity!
Compounds need some extension to the "normal" incidence matrix description, which is due to their multiple components. The appropriately extended description can be found here, and will be used within the individual compound files linked below.
Some compounds show up an overall symmetry which is the same as that of the individual components too. Then those compounds can be described by a (stacked) Dynkin symbol. Further, compounds of 2 components occasionally might be described as both of the alternated facetings (i.e. compound of snubs). Then they can be described by an holosnub notation.
Blends
Closely related with the topics of (generall, i.e. not necessarily uniform) compounds is the topic of blends, a concept intoduced by Olshevsky. Likewise it might deal with multicovers of a single spot by more than one polytope (infact, here the number generally will be 2, asked by the dyadicity argument used below). For blends this furthermore asks for having at least one of its facets each completely coincident. The blend then will be set up by the reduction of the component polytopes by these coincident facets, re-adjoining these reductions dyadically at those coincident (open) ridges. Therefore, blends (of polytopes) are still true polytopes. Also there are 2 kinds of blends, internal and external, depending on having the polytopal centers on the same resp. on different sides of the facetal hyperplane. For instance, many of the Johnson solids are external blends of easier components. (The idea of blends sure can also be applied to compounds instead of mere polytopes.) For an explicit example of an internal blend consider the one built from 2 pentagonal prisms (pip), re-adjoined (internally) at a lacing square, having the componental axes arranged orthogonally (tupip). – The withdrawn original doubled up facets clearly still hold their shapes, just having no body any more, therefore those could be spoken of as pseudo facets.
It further might occur that subsets of uniform polytopes of the same regiment form a group under the action of blending. Such a group then is called a cohort. For instance co, oho, and cho make up such a cohort of 3. (In fact, here either one can be produced as the blend of the other two.)
Fissary Polytopes, Complexified Polytopes, and Exotic Polytopes
The higher the dimension the count of possible polytopes increases exponentially. So some restrictions onto what should be considered a "true" polytope might be in place. Dyadicity, i.e. every edge has exactly 2 ends, and, dually, every ridge connects exactly 2 facets, is rather generally accepted. Compounds on the other side are excluded. But even then the realm of uniform polytopes becomes rather huge. Even for 4D the count of known uniform polychora runs way beyond 8000, Grünbaumian figures with completely coincident elements not even included. This situation was the reason for Johnson and Bowers to introduce the following attributes for in a stricter sense further on to be excluded "polychoroids".
One being the attribute fissary, kind as a midway between "true" polytopes and compounds, attributed to non-compound polytopes which have a compound vertex figure.
Dual to fissary polytopes would be figures using compounds for facets (i.e. d-1-faces), but still are not themselves compounds. Those are called complexified polytopes. – In fact this situation happens to occur quite often beyond 3D. Consider facets showing up both, the same symmetry and the same circumradius. Accordingly those would have to occur as facets on the same sub-symmetry axis of the polytope of consideration, and on that axis moreover they have to be placed at the same distance. I.e. those become co-realmic. In case they are not identic sub-polytopes and so would be completely coincident (then could be blended out, for instance), those will become compounds (not necessarily uniform ones, although their components are uniform, confer the semicompounds mentioned above). – Because those complexified polytopes need some multiwrap (more than one facet occupies the same direction) those clearly cannot occur for convex figures. In contrary they come rather close to Grünbaumian figures.
Then the exotic ones, attributed to polytopes with completely coinciding ridges (i.e. d-2-faces). Although those exotic polytopes are well-behaved dyadic abstract polytopes, their Grünbaumian realisation for some authors would give rise to "see" their coincidic elements being identified. This shows their closeness to non-dyadic "polytopes". Examples here are gidisdrid and cid in 3D (with coincident edges), or seedatepthi in 4D (with coincident pentagons).
---- 2D ----
For uniform compounds in 2D we only have 2 possibilities. The first possibility occurs whenever any number k of n/d-gons (k and d free of common divisors) is arranged within an encasing (approprately scaled) kn-gon (vertex-regular); cf. the picture below, where k=n=3 and d=1). By self-duality of polygons one likewise could say, that those are derived as stellations of their common intersection, i.e. a smaller copy of that kn-gon (edge-regular). In general this is what Coxeter denotes as {kn}[k{n/d}]{kn}. Obviously these are the regular compounds of this dimensionality. By definition this type of compound clearly is a static one. Even though, it might occure (for k=2) as limiting case of the following, continuos case. – For the cases with k=2 also a closed Dynkin notation can be provided:
{2n}[2{n/d}]{2n} = β-n/d-β = xo-n/d-ox
The other possibility here contains a continuous parameter, but uses 2 components only. Those compounds are obtained by any specific uniform polygon, which is mirrored at any line which itself is not a mirror symmetry of that first component. Obviously, there is a continuous range of such choices for the angle to be taken between 2 such (neighbouring) mirrors. – Instead of 2 copies of some simple polygon as components, also 2 copies of some regular compound, i.e. one of the first kind, could be used alike. Then, for sure, the total number of components will become accordingly twice the component count of either of those 2 involved component compounds.

Any 2D regular compound (in Coxeter's reading provided above) clearly is also regular in the sense of flag-transitivity. This sadly does not take over to the other dimensions, so.
---- 3D ----
The listing of uniform compounds of this dimension was done by Skilling in 1976. There are again those 2 possibilities. They all are given within the following pictures of Bowers. For the static ones the encasing polyhedron no longer needs to be uniform itself, its edges might have different sizes. And for the deformable ones, the number of components no longer is bound to be 2.
The set of "regular" 3D compounds is contained in so, ki, e, rhom, and se. As detailed below, the first three would be Coxeter-regular (both vertex- and face-regular), while rhom is only vertex-regular, and conversely its dual, se, is just face-regular. However only so is regular within the sense of flag-transitivity.

The similar compound of 2 enantiomorphic snubs (as given on Bowers last 2 figure plates above) for the case of gisdid there (and usually) is excluded from the listings for the same reason as Grünbaumian figures were excluded from normal polytopes, i.e. because of the complete coincidence of facial elements (all pentagrams in that case). That one would be a further edge faceting of gidrid. – Likewise the compound of 3 (orthogonal) op is here not contained. The corresponding blend is nothing but sroh. Conjungately the compound of 3 (orthogonal) stop, blending out the coincident squares, would result in groh. In the latter 2 cases 1/2 of the squares each would have aligned in complete coincidence.
None the same, what really is missing in these above pictures, are all the axial cases, based on the 2D compounds

Interesting compounds with higher symmetry than that of its componenents so can even be obtained from non-uniform components. Sure, the result then will not become uniform either. As an according example might serve the compound of 5 rad.

Simplices in general do miss the inversion symmetry. Accordingly the compound of a mutually dual simplex pair xo3oo...oo3ox exists for any dimension. It obviously is flag-transitive (and thus regular in that sense) in any dimension. Also the intersection kernel not only can be provided generally in its combinatrical shape, but well in its correct metric size as well. In dimensional sequence we have:
0D: intersection kernel of o and o is o when scaled down by 1 1D: intersection kernel of x and x is u when scaled down by 2 2D: intersection kernel of x3o and o3x is x3x when scaled down by 3 3D: intersection kernel of so, i.e. x3o3o and o3o3x is o3u3o when scaled down by 4 4D: intersection kernel of sted, i.e. x3o3o3o and o3o3o3x is o3x3x3o when scaled down by 5 5D: intersection kernel of stade, i.e. x3o3o3o3o and o3o3o3o3x is o3o3u3o3o when scaled down by 6 6D: intersection kernel of stef, i.e. x3o3o3o3o3o and o3o3o3o3o3x is o3o3x3x3o3o when scaled down by 7 7D: intersection kernel of she, i.e. x3o3o3o3o3o3o and o3o3o3o3o3o3x is o3o3o3u3o3o3o when scaled down by 8 8D: intersection kernel of sib, i.e. x3o3o3o3o3o3o3o and o3o3o3o3o3o3o3x is o3o3o3x3x3o3o3o when scaled down by 9 9D: intersection kernel of ..., i.e. x3o3o3o3o3o3o3o3o and o3o3o3o3o3o3o3o3x is o3o3o3o3u3o3o3o3o when scaled down by 10
I.e. the odd-dimensional intersection kernels here are just the mid-rectified simplices, while the even-dimensional ones are exactly the mid-truncated simplices.
Hypercubes generally can be vertex-alternated (snubbed) in order to produce the general (then q-scaled) demi(hyper)cube. If being holosnubbed instead, then both vertex-inscribed (q-scaled) demicubes would occur, i.e. the latter ones then align as a the general compound xo3oo3ox *b3oo...oo3oo. That very construction shows that it generally is vertex-regular (because it has the regular hypercube as its hull). When it comes to consider the intersection kernels of that series of compounds we first observe that the facets of these compounds are (still q-scaled) simplices (underneath the hypercube's vertices) as well as (likewise q-scaled) demicubes (within the facet planes of the hypercube). One observes further that those demicubes in turn form a subdimensional compound of 2 each. The very construction as a holosnub (of the hypercube) shows moreover that the 2 (full-dimensional) demicubes should intersect edge-midwise. Thence the facets of the searched for intersection kernel should be (1/q-scaled) rectified simplices and (also 1/q-scaled) rectified demicubes – both scalings wrt. the original edge size of the hypercube for sure, or, when given wrt. those of the (full-sized) compound instead, these scalings would become 1/2. This is obvious because of the midwise inscribed figure of all their face triangles is just a 1/2-scaled (dual) triangle. We further note additionally that the rectified demicube is nothing but the birectified hypercube. And, just as the demicubes occured above both full-dimensional as well as for facets, we too observe that the facets of the birectified hypercube would be just those mentioned rectified simplices and birectified hypercubes in turn. Thence we get finally:
3D: intersection kernel of so, i.e. x3o3o and o3o3x is x3o4o when scaled down by 2 4D: intersection kernel of haddet, i.e. x3o3o *b3o and o3o3x *b3o is o3x3o4o when scaled down by 2 5D: intersection kernel of todin, i.e. x3o3o *b3o3o and o3o3x *b3o3o is o3o3x3o4o when scaled down by 2 6D: intersection kernel of gedak, i.e. x3o3o *b3o3o3o and o3o3x *b3o3o3o is o3o3o3x3o4o when scaled down by 2 7D: intersection kernel of ..., i.e. x3o3o *b3o3o3o3o and o3o3x *b3o3o3o3o is o3o3o3o3x3o4o when scaled down by 2 8D: intersection kernel of ..., i.e. x3o3o *b3o3o3o3o3o and o3o3x *b3o3o3o3o3o is o3o3o3o3o3x3o4o when scaled down by 2 9D: intersection kernel of ..., i.e. x3o3o *b3o3o3o3o3o3o and o3o3x *b3o3o3o3o3o3o is o3o3o3o3o3o3x3o4o when scaled down by 2
