Infinite families of monohedral disk tilings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tiling of a planar shape is called monohedral if all tiles are congruent to each other. We will investigate the possibility of producing monohedral tilings of the disk. Such tilings are produced on a daily basis by pizza chefs by taking radial cuts distributed evenly around the centre of the pizza. After constructing this tiling, a neighbourhood of the origin has non-trivial intersection with each tile. This brings us to the main question of this article:

Dihedral f-tilings of the sphere by rhombi and triangles
An isometric folding is a non-expansive locally isometry that sends piecewise geodesic segments into piecewise geodesic segments of the same length. An isometric folding is a continuous map that need not to be differentiable. The points where it is not differentiable are called singular points. The foundations of isometric foldings of Riemannian manifolds are introduced by Robertson (1977). For...
متن کاملThe Local Theorem for Monotypic Tilings
A locally finite face-to-face tiling T of euclidean d-space Ed is monotypic if each tile of T is a convex polytope combinatorially equivalent to a given polytope, the combinatorial prototile of T . The paper describes a local characterization of combinatorial tile-transitivity of monotypic tilings in Ed; the result is the Local Theorem for Monotypic Tilings. The characterization is expressed in...
متن کاملSome Monohedral Tilings Derived From Regular Polygons
Some tiles derived from regular polygons can produce spiral tilings of the plane [1]. This paper considers some more general classes of tilings with tiles derived from regular polygons, some have central symmetry, many have periodic symmetry, some have both, and a few have no symmetry at all. Any of these tiling patterns could be the basis for some interesting mathematical art, for example by c...
متن کاملOn Tilings of Quadrants and Rectangles and Rectangular Pattern
The problem of tiling rectangles by polyominoes generated large interest. A related one is the problem of tiling parallelograms by twisted polyominoes. Both problems are related with tilings of (skewed) quadrants by polyominoes. Indeed, if all tilings of a (skewed) quadrant by a tile set can be reduced to a tiling by congruent rectangles (parallelograms), this provides information about tilings...
متن کاملTilable nature of virus capsids and the role of topological constraints in natural capsid design.
Virus capsids are highly specific assemblies that are formed from a large number of often chemically identical capsid subunits. In the present paper we ask to what extent these structures can be viewed as mathematically tilable objects using a single two-dimensional tile. We find that spherical viruses from a large number of families-eight out of the twelve studied-qualitatively possess propert...
