Two-color Fractal Tilings
نویسنده
چکیده
A variety of two-color fractal tilings (f-tilings) are described, in which no two adjacent tiles have the same color. Two-colorable examples from f-tilings that have been described previously are identified, and two techniques are used for converting f-tilings that are not two-colorable into new f-tilings that can be so colored. In the first of these, tiles are combined in order to change the valence of vertices to all be even, ensuring two-colorability. This technique is applicable to a limited number of f-tilings and can result in prototiles with an infinite number of edges and corners. In the second technique, tiles are divided into two or more smaller tiles such that all vertices of the new f-tiling have even valence.

Some Hyperbolic Fractal Tilings
The concepts of fractal tiling and hyperbolic tiling are combined to create novel fractal surfaces in Euclidean threespace. Paper folding and computer modeling are used to create these constructs. We show examples using triangular, trapezoidal, and dart-shaped prototiles. Smaller tiles deflect out of the plane of adjacent larger tiles, resulting in nonplanar surfaces, the shapes of which are de...
متن کاملA Fractal Version of the Pinwheel Tiling
Dedicated to the inspiration of Benoit Mandelbrot. The pinwheel tilings are a remarkable class of tilings of the plane, and our main goal in this paper is to introduce a fractal version of them. We will begin by describing how to construct the pinwheel tilings themselves and by discussing some of the properties that have generated so much interest. After that we will develop the fractal version...
متن کاملFractal Tilings Based on Dissections of Polyhexes
Polyhexes, shapes made up of regular hexagons connected edge-to-edge, provide a rich source of prototiles for edge-to-edge fractal tilings. Numerous examples are given of fractal tilings with 2-fold and 3-fold rotational symmetry based on prototiles derived by dissecting polyhexes with 2-fold and 3-fold rotational symmetry, respectively. A systematic analysis is made of candidate prototiles bas...
متن کاملPoint processes for decagonal quasiperiodic tilings
A general construction principle of inflation rules for decagonal quasiperiodic tilings is proposed. The prototiles are confined to be polygons with unit edges. An inflation rule for a tiling is the combination of an expansion and a division of the tiles, where the expanded tiles can be divided arbitrarily as far as the set of prototiles is maintained. A certain kind of point decoration process...
متن کاملFractal Dual Substitution Tilings
Starting with a substitution tiling, we demonstrate a method for constructing infinitely many new substitution tilings. Each of these new tilings is derived from a graph iterated function system and the tiles have fractal boundary. We show that each of the new tilings is mutually locally derivable to the original tiling. Thus, at the tiling space level, the new substitution rules are expressing...
