Polyominoes and Polyiamonds as Fundamental Domains of Isohedral Tilings with Rotational Symmetry

Hiroshi Fukuda, Chiaki Kanomata, Nobuaki Mutoh, Gisaku Nakamura, Doris Schattschneider

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 (Fukuda et al 2006, 2008).
