Symmetries of Monocoronal Tilings
The vertex corona of a vertex of some tiling is the vertex together with the
adjacent tiles. A tiling where all vertex coronae are congruent is called
monocoronal. We provide a classification of monocoronal tilings in the
Euclidean plane and derive a list of all possible symmetry groups of
monocoronal tilings. In particular, any monocoronal tiling with respect to
direct congruence is crystallographic, whereas any monocoronal tiling with
respect to congruence (reflections allowed) is either crystallographic or it
has a one-dimensional translation group. Furthermore, bounds on the number of
the dimensions of the translation group of monocoronal tilings in higher
dimensional Euclidean space are obtained.Comment: 26 pages, 66 figure
k -Isocoronal tilings
In this article, a framework is presented that allows the systematic derivation of planar edge-to-edge k-isocoronal tilings from tile-s-transitive tilings, s k. A tiling T is k-isocoronal if its vertex coronae form k orbits or k transitivity classes under the action of its symmetry group. The vertex corona of a vertex x of T is used to refer to the tiles that are incident to x. The k-isocoronal tilings include the vertex-k-transitive tilings (k-isogonal) and k-uniform tilings. In a vertex-k- transitive tiling, the vertices form k transitivity classes under its symmetry group. If this tiling consists of regular polygons then it is k-uniform. This article also presents the classification of isocoronal tilings in the Euclidean plane
Discovering New Tessellations Using Dynamic Geometry Software
In this paper we use dynamic geometry software to investigate a class of tilings called k-uniform tilings or tessellations. A tiling consisting of regular polygons whose vertices belong to k-transitivity classes under the action of its symmetry group (vertex-k-transitive) is said to be k-uniform. We also present constructions of tilings consisting of irregular polygons that are vertex-k-transitive
