If (X=Y=)K is a convex body then faces of K invariant under L are determined in case 0 intK. Moreover, invariant supporting hyperplanes of K are determined in case K is a simplex in general position. It is shown that π(P 1,P 2) is polyhedral if P 1 and P 2 are polyhedral. Finally, it is shown that for any polyhedral set P, π(P,P) is a polytope iff P is a polytope with lin P=R d.

This completes work previously done in other lattices.

The main results are as follows. The shortness coefficient of the family of all topological grid graphs is at most 16/17. Every 3-connected topological grid graph is hamiltonian.

Malkevitch [8] raised the question whether the family 9: of all simple polytopes having only pentagons, decagons, 15gons, etc., as faces contains only Hamiltonian members or not. In order to generalize the preceding problems we consider the class 9", of all (always 3-dimensional) polytopes which are k-gonal modulo n. We say that a polytope is k-gonal mod& n (k < n) if all vertices have the same valency and each of its faces is an m-gon with m = k (mod n). The few regular polytopes are all Hamiltonian. We shall see that, for many values of k and n, the polytopes which are k-gonal modulo n may well be non-Hamiltonian, even if they are assumed to be simple (every vertex is 3-valent). The class of all simple k-gonal (modulo n) polytopes (k < n) will be denoted by 9;. Griinbaum and Walther [7] introduced the following "measure" of how short a longest circuit can be, called the shortness exponent and defined for any family ST of graphs a(F) = ",",$f (log h(G))/log u(G), where v(G) is the number of all vertices of G and h(G) the maximal circuit length in G. We identify polytopes with the graphs of their vertices and edges. The case of those simple polytopes which are k-gonal modulo 3 was treated by Zaks [ 141 and Walther [ 121. They proved that ~(9;

Planar graphs and graphs of higher connectivity receive special attention. Graphs embeddable in the cubic lattice of arbitrary dimension, and graphs embeddable in the triangular or hexagonal lattice of the plane are also discussed. Results concerning the case when not all, but just some longest paths or cycles are intersected, for example two or three of them, are also reported.
