Polygonal tiling of some surfaces containing fullerene molecules
A tiling of a surface is a decomposition of the surface into pieces, i.e. tiles, which cover it without gaps or overlaps. In this paper some special polygonal tiling of sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, and torus as the most abundant shapes of fullerenes are investigated.
متن کاملComplexity and Growth for Polygonal Billiards
We establish a relationship between the word complexity and the number of generalized diagonals for a polygonal billiard. We conclude that in the rational case the complexity function has cubic upper and lower bounds. In the tiling case the complexity has cubic asymptotic growth.
متن کاملSelf-Similar Tiling Systems, Topological Factors and Stretching Factors
In this paper we prove that if two self-similar tiling systems, with respective stretching factors λ1 and λ2, have a common factor which is a non periodic tiling system, then λ1 and λ2 are multiplicatively dependent.
متن کاملAlgebraic Numbers and Automorphisms of Free Groups
We give a construction that extends to the general hyperbolic case recent work on the geometric representation of Pisot substitutions and the explicit construction of Markov partitions for Pisot toral automorphisms . For the sake of simplicity, we consider a simple example of an automorphism of the free group on 4 generators, whose associated matrix has 4 distinct complex eigenvalues, two of th...
متن کاملThe Construction of Self-similar Tilings
We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient λ ∈ C (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer m > 1 we show that there exists a self-similar tiling with 2π/m-rotational symmetry group and expansion λ if and only if either λ or λe is a complex Perron number for which e is in Q[λ], resp...
