Small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron

The small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron, square duoexpandoprism, or sidpith, also commonly called the runcinated tesseract, is a convex uniform polychoron that consists of 16 regular tetrahedra, 32 triangular prisms, and 8+24 cubes. 1 tetrahedron, 3 triangular prisms, and 1+3 cubes join at each vertex. It is the result of expanding the cells of either a tesseract or a hexadecachoron outwards, and thus could also be called the runcinated 16-cell.

It is the second in the series of duoexpandoprisms formed as the convex hull of a compound of two perpendicular square-octagonal duoprisms and the only uniform one. Blending it with these duoprisms produces the inverted quasiprismatodishexadecachoron.

Vertex coordinates
Coordinates for the vertices of a small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron with edge length 1 are given by all permutations of:
 * $$\left(±\frac{1+\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac12,\,±\frac12,\,±\frac12\right).$$

Representations
A small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron has the following Coxeter diagrams:


 * x4o3o3x (full symmetry)
 * xxxx4oooo3oxxo&#xt (BC3 axial, cube-first)
 * xxxowoqo3ooqooqoo3oqowoxxx&#xt (A3 axial, tetrahedron-first)
 * xowqwox xxxxxxx4oxoxoxo&#xt (BC2×A1 symmetry, cube-first)
 * qo3oo3oq *b3xx&#zx (D4 symmetry)
 * wx xx4oo3ox&#zx (BC3×A1 symmetry)
 * xo4xx ox4xx&#zx (BC3×BC2 symmetry, square duoexpandoprism)
 * wxxx xwxx xxwx xxxw&#zx (A1×A1×A1×A1 symmetry)

Semi-uniform variant
The small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron has a semi-uniform variant of the form x4o3o3y that maintains its full symmetry. This variant uses 8 cubes of size x, 16 tetrahedra of size y, 32 semi-uniform triangular prisms of form x y3o, and 24 semi-uniform square prisms of form y x4o as cells, with 2 edge lengths.

With edges of length a (of cubes) and b (of tetrahedra), its circumradius is given by $$\sqrt{\frac{2a^2+b^2+ab\sqrt2}{2}}$$ and its hypervolume is given by $$\frac{6a^4+36a^2b^2+b^4+(24a^3b+8ab^3)\sqrt2}{6}$$.

It has coordinates given by all permutations of:


 * $$\left(±\frac{a+b\sqrt2}{2},\,±\frac{a}{2},\,±\frac{a}{2},\,±\frac{a}{2}\right).$$

Variations
The uniform small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron, and indeed the semi-uniform variants, are a special class of the general isogonal square duoexpandoprism. This generall variant has as cells 2 sets of 8 square prisms, 16 rectangular trapezoprisms, 32 wedges, and 16 tetragonal disphenoids as cells. They can generally be obtained as the convex hull of 2 orthogonal square-ditetragonal duoprisms.

This is one of a total of five polychora that can be obtained as the convex hull of two orthogonal square-ditetragonal duoprisms. To produce variants of this polychoron, if the polychoron is written as ao4bc oa4cb&#zy, c must be in the range $$c < b+\frac{a}{\sqrt2}$$. It generally has circumradius $$\sqrt{\frac{2a^2+2b^2+2ab\sqrt2+c^2}{2}}$$.

Related polychora
The small dispirsmatotesseractihexadecachoron is the colonel of a regiment with a total of 8 uniform, 1 uniform compound, and 6 scaliform members. Of these members, 6 have full tesseractic symmetry, namely the small tesseractifaceted cubitesseractihexadecachoron, the small hexadecafaceted prismatotesseractioctachoron, the small tesseractitesseractihexadecachoron, the disprismatotesseract, the small spinoprismatotesseractihexadecachoron, and the small spinoprismatotesseractioctachoron. The eighth member, the inverted quasiprismatodishexadecachoron, has square duoprism symmetry, as does the compound octagonal diorthoprism and the 6 scaliform members.

A small disprismatotesseractihexadecachoron can be constructed from a small rhombicuboctahedral prism by attaching cube atop small rhombicuboctahedron segmentochora to its bases. The cap from the set of 24 cubes is the square cupofastegium.
