Basic Tessellations
... A tessellation is a pattern of geometric figures that covers the plane and repeats infinitely in two dimensions, with no gaps and no overlaps. Two well-known tessellations are the square pattern of the checkerboard and the hexagonal pattern of the honeycomb or chicken wire. Both patterns are widely ...

... so forth, we will find that there is a maximum number of coronas that can be formed. This maximum number of layers that can be formed around a single centrally placed copy of T is called the Heesch number of T and is denoted by H (T ). We consider a few examples before proceeding. Consider first a r ...

Penrose tiling

A Penrose tiling is a non-periodic tiling generated by an aperiodic set of prototiles. Penrose tilings are named after mathematician and physicist Roger Penrose, who investigated these sets in the 1970s. The aperiodicity of the Penrose prototiles implies that a shifted copy of a Penrose tiling will never match the original. A Penrose tiling may be constructed so as to exhibit both reflection symmetry and fivefold rotational symmetry, as in the diagram at the right. A Penrose tiling has many remarkable properties, most notably:It is non-periodic, which means that it lacks any translational symmetry. It is self-similar, so the same patterns occur at larger and larger scales. Thus, the tiling can be obtained through ""inflation"" (or ""deflation"") and any finite patch from the tiling occurs infinitely many times.It is a quasicrystal: implemented as a physical structure a Penrose tiling will produce Bragg diffraction and its diffractogram reveals both the fivefold symmetry and the underlying long range order.Various methods to construct Penrose tilings have been discovered, including matching rules, substitutions or subdivision rules, cut and project schemes and coverings.
