A Family of Butterfly Patterns Inspired by Escher
نویسندگان
چکیده
M.C. Escher is noted for his repeating patterns, usually with animal motifs. For a few motifs he created more than one pattern with different combinatorial characteristics, even in different geometries, leading to the concept of families of patterns with the same motif but different combinatorics. Hyperbolic geometry is useful in that it provides an infinite number of combinatorial possibilities. This paper investigates one of those families, based on a butterfly motif.

Escher Patterns on Triply Periodic Polyhedra
M.C. Escher drew a few of his patterns on finite polyhedra, but not on infinite polyhedra. In this paper we show some Escher-inspired patterns on triply periodic polyhedra.
متن کاملM.C. Escher’s Use of the Poincaré Models of Hyper- bolic Geometry
The artist M.C. Escher was the first artist to create patterns in the hyperbolic plane. He used both the Poincaré disk model and the Poincaré half-plane model of hyperbolic geometry. We discuss some of the theory of hyperbolic patterns and show Escher-inspired designs in both of these models.
متن کاملPatterns on Triply Periodic Polyhedra
This paper discusses patterns on triply periodic polyhedra, infinite polyhedra that repeat in three independent directions in Euclidean 3-space. We further require that all the vertices be congruent by a symmetry of the polyhedron, i.e. that they be uniform, and also that each of the faces is a single regular polygon. We believe that we are the first to apply patterns to such polyhedra. The pat...
متن کاملCustom 3D-Printed Rollers for Frieze Pattern Cookies
Inspired by ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals, we describe a method for converting images of repeating patterns, e.g., Roman friezes or Escher tessellations, into 3D-printed rollers for shaping custom-designed cookies. The rollers may be used as a math club activity to make cookies for a math event and can also be used in other creative works, e.g., imprinting ceramics and similar materials. ...
متن کاملHofstadter's problem for curious readers
This document summarizes the proofs made during a Coq development inSummer 2015. This development investigates the function G introduced by Hofstadter in his famous"G{\"o}del, Escher, Bach"book as well as a related infinite tree. The left/right flipped variantof this G tree has also been studied here, following Hofstadter's"problem for the curious reader".The initial G function is refered as se...
