  2. Hexagonal tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_tiling

    Hexagonal tiling. In geometry, the hexagonal tiling or hexagonal tessellation is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane, in which exactly three hexagons meet at each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,3} or t{3,6} (as a truncated triangular tiling). English mathematician John Conway called it a hextille.

  3. Uniform tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_tiling

    Uniform tiling. In geometry, a uniform tiling is a tessellation of the plane by regular polygon faces with the restriction of being vertex-transitive. Uniform tilings can exist in both the Euclidean plane and hyperbolic plane. Uniform tilings are related to the finite uniform polyhedra; these can be considered uniform tilings of the sphere.

  4. Aperiodic tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperiodic_tiling

    An aperiodic tiling using a single shape and its reflection, discovered by David Smith. An aperiodic tiling is a non-periodic tiling with the additional property that it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. A set of tile-types (or prototiles) is aperiodic if copies of these tiles can form only non- periodic tilings.

  5. Einstein problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_problem

    Aperiodic tiling with "Tile(1,1)". The tiles are colored according to their rotational orientation modulo 60 degrees. [1] ( Smith, Myers, Kaplan, and Goodman-Strauss) In plane geometry, the einstein problem asks about the existence of a single prototile that by itself forms an aperiodic set of prototiles; that is, a shape that can tessellate space but only in a nonperiodic way.

  6. Tessellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation

    Tessellation in two dimensions, also called planar tiling, is a topic in geometry that studies how shapes, known as tiles, can be arranged to fill a plane without any gaps, according to a given set of rules. These rules can be varied. Common ones are that there must be no gaps between tiles, and that no corner of one tile can lie along the edge ...

  7. Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_tilings_by...

    Euclidean tilings are usually named after Cundy & Rollett’s notation. [1] This notation represents (i) the number of vertices, (ii) the number of polygons around each vertex (arranged clockwise) and (iii) the number of sides to each of those polygons. For example: 3 6; 3 6; 3 4.6, tells us there are 3 vertices with 2 different vertex types ...

  8. Wang tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_tile

    In 1961, Wang conjectured that if a finite set of Wang tiles can tile the plane, then there also exists a periodic tiling, which, mathematically, is a tiling that is invariant under translations by vectors in a 2-dimensional lattice. This can be likened to the periodic tiling in a wallpaper pattern, where the overall pattern is a repetition of ...

  9. Vinyl composition tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_composition_tile

    Vinyl floor tiling. Vinyl composition tile (VCT) is a finished flooring material used primarily in commercial and institutional applications. Modern vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring and versions of those products sold since the early 1980s are composed of colored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) chips formed into solid sheets of varying thicknesses (1 ⁄ 8 in or 3.2 mm is most common) by heat and ...
