چکیده

The study of dihedral f-tilings of the sphere S2 by spherical triangles and equiangular spherical quadrangles (which includes the case of 4-sided regular polygons) was presented in [3]. Also, in [6], the study of dihedral f-tilings of S2 whose prototiles are an equilateral triangle (a 3-sided regular polygon) and an isosceles triangle was described (we believe that the analysis considering scalene triangles as the prototiles will lead to a wide family of f-tilings). In this paper we extend these results, presenting the study of dihedral f-tilings by spherical triangles and r-sided regular polygons, for any r ≥ 5. The combinatorial structure, including the symmetry group of each tiling, is given in Table 1.

Dihedral F-Tilings of the Sphere by Equilateral and Scalene Triangles - II

The study of dihedral f-tilings of the Euclidean sphere S2 by triangles and rsided regular polygons was initiated in 2004 where the case r = 4 was considered [5]. In a subsequent paper [1], the study of all spherical f-tilings by triangles and r-sided regular polygons, for any r ≥ 5, was described. Later on, in [3], the classification of all f-tilings of S2 whose prototiles are an equilateral t...

Spherical tiling by 12 congruent pentagons

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by congruent triangles have been extensively studied, and the edge-to-edge tilings have been completely classified. However, not much is known about the tilings by other congruent polygons. In this paper, we classify the simplest case, which is the edge-to-edge tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by 12 congruent penta...

Tilings by Regular Polygons Iii: Dodecagon-dense Tilings

In Tilings and Patterns, Grünbaum and Shephard claim that there are only four kuniform tilings by regular polygons (for some k) that have a dodecagon incident at every vertex. In fact, there are many others. We show that the tilings that satisfy this requirement are either the uniform 4.6.12 tiling, or else fall into one of two infinite classes of such tilings. One of these infinite classes can...

Dihedral f-Tilings of the Sphere by Equilateral and Scalene Triangles - III

The study of spherical dihedral f-tilings by equilateral and isosceles triangles was introduced in [3]. Taking as prototiles equilateral and scalene triangles, we are faced with three possible ways of adjacency. In [4] and [5] two of these possibilities were studied. Here, we complete this study, describing the f-tilings related to the remaining case of adjacency, including their symmetry group...

Some New Tilings of the Sphere with Congruent Triangles

Many years ago, Sommerville classified the tilings of the sphere with congruent spherical triangles – under some assumptions. Later, Davies did the same, under only the restriction that the triangles should meet edge-to-edge. This paper surveys a recently-discovered class of tilings with congruent spherical triangle tiles that do not meet edgeto-edge. Introduction. Any simple polyhedron can be ...
