چکیده

We describe computer algorithms that produce the complete set of isohedral tilings by n-omino or n-iamond tiles in which the tiles are fundamental domains and the tilings have pmm, pmg, pgg or cmm symmetry [1]. These symmetry groups are members of the crystal class D2 among the 17 two-dimensional symmetry groups [2]. We display the algorithms’ output and give enumeration tables for small values of n. This work is a continuation of our earlier works for the symmetry groups p3, p31m, p3m1, p4, p4g, p4m, p6, and p6m [3–5].

Polyominoes and Polyiamonds as Fundamental Domains of Isohedral Tilings with Rotational Symmetry

We describe computer algorithms that produce the complete set of isohedral tilings by n-omino or n-iamond tiles in which the tiles are fundamental domains and the tilings have 3-, 4-, or 6-fold rotational symmetry. The symmetry groups of such tilings are of types p3, p31m, p4, p4g, and p6. There are no isohedral tilings with p3m1, p4m, or p6m symmetry groups that have polyominoes or polyiamonds...

A Method to Generate Polyominoes and Polyiamonds for Tilings with Rotational Symmetry

We show a simple method to generate polyominoes and polyiamonds that produce isohedral tilings with p3, p4 or p6 rotational symmetry by using n line segments between lattice points on a regular hexagonal, square and triangular lattice, respectively. We exhibit all possible tiles generated by this algorithm up to n = 9 for p3, n = 8 for p4, and n = 13 for p6. In particular, we determine for n ≤ ...

Enumeration of Polyominoes, Polyiamonds and Polyhexes for Isohedral Tilings with Rotational Symmetry

We describe computer algorithms that can enumerate and display, for a given n > 0 (in theory, of any size), all n-ominoes, niamonds, and n-hexes that can tile the plane using only rotations; these sets necessarily contain all such tiles that are fundamental domains for p4, p3, and p6 isohedral tilings. We display the outputs for small values of n. This expands on earlier work [3]. 1 Polyominoes...

Fundamental Domains of Discrete Groups Acting on Euclidean Space

Fundamenatal domains of wallpaper groups acting on R2 whose closures are homeomorphic to closed disks can be classified in the same way that Grunbaum classifies isohedral plane tilings in [7]. Almost all of these types of fundamental domains appear as Dirichlet domains, and examples are given.

Intricate Isohedral Tilings of 3D Euclidean Space

Various methods to create intricate tilings of 3D space are presented. They include modulated extrusions of 2D Escher tilings, free-form deformations of the fundamental domain of various 3D symmetry groups, highly symmetrical polyhedral toroids of genus 1, higher-genus cage structures derived from the cubic lattice as well as from the diamond and triamond lattices, and finally interlinked tiles...
