Penrose tiling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Penrose tiling is a nonperiodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles named after Roger Penrose, who investigated these sets in the 1970s. Because all tilings obtained with the Penrose tiles are non-periodic, Penrose tilings are considered aperiodic tilings.[1] Among the infinitely many possible tilings there are two that possess both mirror symmetry and fivefold rotational symme...
متن کاملTilings of the Sphere with Right Triangles II: The (1, 3, 2), (0, 2, n) Subfamily
Sommerville [8] and Davies [2] classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. Relaxing this condition yields other triangles, which tile the sphere but have some tiles intersecting in partial edges. This paper shows that no right triangles in a certain subfamily can tile the sphere, although multilayered tilings are possible.
متن کاملEmbedding of hyperbolic Coxeter groups into products of binary trees and aperiodic tilings
We prove that a finitely generated, right-angled, hyperbolic Coxeter group Γ can be quasiisometrically embedded into the product of n binary trees, where n is the chromatic number of Γ. As application we obtain certain strongly aperiodic tilings of the Davis complex of these groups.
متن کاملTriangle Tiling I: the tile is similar to ABC or has a right angle
An N-tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T , overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the “tile”. The tile may or may not be similar to ABC. This paper is the first of four papers, which together seek a complete characterization of the triples (ABC,N, T ) such that ABC can be N-tiled by T . In this paper, we consider...
متن کاملA Pentagonal Crystal, the Golden Section, Alcove Packing and Aperiodic Tilings
A Lie theoretic interpretation is given to a pattern with five-fold symmetry occurring in aperiodic Penrose tiling based on isosceles triangles with length ratios equal to the Golden Section. Specifically a B(∞) crystal based on that of Kashiwara is constructed exhibiting this five-fold symmetry. It is shown that it can be represented as a Kashiwara B(∞) crystal in type A4. Similar crystals wit...
