Enumerations of Hyperbolic Truchet Tiles
نویسنده
چکیده
Sébastien Truchet was a pioneer in applying combinatorics to the study of regular patterns. He enumerated the patterns that could be formed from square tiles that were divided by a diagonal into a black and a white triangle Following Truchet, others have created Truchet-like tilings composed of circular arcs and other motifs. These patterns are all based on Euclidean tessellations, usually the tiling by squares. In this paper we pose corresponding enumeration questions about hyperbolic Truchet tilings and show some sample patterns.

Hyperbolic Truchet Tilings
About 300 years ago Sébastien Truchet systematically studied patterns that could be formed from square tiles that were divided by a diagonal into a white triangle and a black triangle. Other pattern creators have been inspired by him to make Truchet-like tilings composed of circular arcs and other motifs. These tilings are all based on Euclidean tessellations, usually the tiling by squares. In ...
متن کاملTruchet curves and surfaces
Spanning tree contours, a special class of Truchet contour based upon a random spanning tree of a Truchet tiling’s underlying graph, are presented. This spanning tree method is extended to three dimensions to define a Truchet surface with properties similar to its twodimensional counterpart. Both contour and surface are smooth, have known minimum curvature and known maximum distance to interior...
متن کاملA hierarchical strongly aperiodic set of tiles in the hyperbolic plane
We give a new construction of strongly aperiodic set of tiles in H, exhibiting a kind of hierarchical structure, simplifying the central framework of Margenstern’s proof that the Domino problem is undecidable in the hyperbolic plane [13]. Ludwig Danzer once asked whether, in the hyperbolic plane, where there are no similarities, there could be any notion of hierarchical tiling—an idea which pla...
متن کاملA Strongly Aperiodic Set of Tiles in the Hyperbolic Plane
We construct the first known example of a strongly aperiodic set of tiles in the hyperbolic plane. Such a set of tiles does admit a tiling, but admits no tiling with an infinite cyclic symmetry. This can also be regarded as a “regular production system” [5] that does admit bi-infinite orbits, but admits no periodic orbits.
متن کاملA protocol for a message system for the tiles of the heptagrid, in the hyperbolic plane
This paper introduces a communication system for the tiles of the heptagrid, a tiling of the hyperbolic plane. The method can be extended to other tilings of this plane. The paper focuses on an actual implementation at the programming stage with a short account of two
