Polyominoes and Polyiamonds as Fundamental Domains of Isohedral Tilings with Rotational Symmetry
We describe computer algorithms that produce the complete set of isohedral
tilings by n-omino or n-iamond tiles in which the tiles are fundamental domains
and the tilings have 3-, 4-, or 6-fold rotational symmetry. The symmetry groups
of such tilings are of types p3, p31m, p4, p4g, and p6. There are no isohedral
tilings with symmetry groups p3m1, p4m, or p6m that have polyominoes or
polyiamonds as fundamental domains. We display the algorithms' output and give
enumeration tables for small values of n. This expands on our earlier works

Polyominoes and Polyiamonds as Fundamental Domains for Isohedral Tilings of Crystal Class D2
We describe computer algorithms that produce the complete set of isohedral tilings by n-omino or n-iamond tiles in which the tiles are fundamental domains and the tilings have pmm, pmg, pgg or cmm symmetry [1]. These symmetry groups are members of the crystal class D2 among the 17 two-dimensional symmetry groups [2]. We display the algorithms’ output and give enumeration tables for small values of n. This work is a continuation of our earlier works for the symmetry groups p3, p31m, p3m1, p4, p4g, p4m, p6, and p6m [3–5]
