A parallelohedron is a convex polyhedron, in real affine three-dimensional space, which can be repeated by translation to fill the whole space without interstices. It has centrally symmetrical faces [4, p. 120] and hence is centrally symmetrical.

Let Fi denote the number of faces each having exactly i edges, Vi denote the number of vertices each incident with exactly i edges, E denote the number of edges, n denote the number of sets of parallel edges, F denote the total number of faces, V denote the total number of vertices.
