Tilings of the Sphere with Right Triangles II: The (1, 3, 2), (0, 2, n) Subfamily
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

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 ...
متن کاملTilings of the Sphere with Right Triangles I: The Asymptotically Right Families
Sommerville [10] 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 determines which right spherical triangles within certain families can tile the sphere.
متن کاملTiling a Strip with Triangles
In this paper, we examine the tilings of a 2 × n “triangular strip” with triangles. These tilings have connections with Fibonacci numbers, Pell numbers, and other known sequences. We will derive several different recurrences, establish some properties of these numbers, and give a refined count for these tilings (i.e., by the number and type of triangles used) and establish several properties of...
متن کاملDihedral 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...
متن کاملTiling triangle ABC with congruent triangles similar to ABC
We investigate the problem of cutting a triangle ABC into N congruent triangles (the “tiles”), each of which is similar to ABC. The more general problem when the tile is not similar to ABC is not treated in this paper; see [1]. We give a complete characterization of the numbers N for which some triangle ABC can be tiled by N tiles similar to ABC, and also a complete characterization of the numb...
