Duoprism

In geometry of 4 dimensions or higher, a duoprism is a polytope resulting from the Cartesian product of two polytopes, each of two dimensions or higher. The Cartesian product of an n-polytope and an m-polytope is an (n+m)-polytope, where n and m are 2 (polygon) or higher.

The lowest dimensional duoprisms exist in 4-dimensional space as polychora (4-polytopes) being the Cartesian product of two polygons in 2-dimensional Euclidean space. More precisely, it is the set of points:

where P₁ and P₂ are the sets of the points contained in the respective polygons. Such a duoprism is convex if both bases are convex, and is bounded by prismatic cells.
