Abstract
We study a polyhedron with $n$ vertices of fixed volume having the minimum surface area. Completing the proof of Fejes Tóth, we show that all faces of a minimum polyhedron are triangles, and further prove that a minimum polyhedron does not allow deformation of a single vertex. We also present possible minimum shapes for $n ≤ 12$. Some of them are quite unexpected, in particular $n = 8$.
