However any periodic tiling is built on a lattice of polygons. In particular, the semiregular tessellations are built on lattices of rhombs or hexagons. All of these lattices have symmetry of scale - that is, for example, the rhombs can be grouped 4 at a time to form larger, similar rhombs, which can serve as a framework for an inflated version of the original tiling, and this process can be repeated to produce larger and larger versions of the original tiling. Thus if P and P' are minumum distance d apart in the original tiling, they will eventually be contained in the same tile in a large enough inflation. <br />
Thus according to the text argument, this shows the tiling cannot be periodic, But we already know that the examples we are considering are periodic, so this argument is insufficient, and cannot constitute a complete proof that Penrose tilings are not periodic.JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14765796947093429576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787727952766147454.post-79196608612539943762010-10-19T09:14:00.000-07:002010-10-19T09:14:36.463-07:00Tessellation using midpoint rotation on all 3 sides of triangle<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuKjqDp8V7h3TozM6QeHB3xCPKHJsXKq-bViYXwTyks1OUcwLSJNLnsmYsnRJnNphxYAhcfcEyZpbOApiGadDbEBHEC5bquarNRe8x2eWrNc9ROnI0LMhwBBOz4y4QkGW_8x6IsiK5UC3/s1600/Tilingasgt612.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpuKjqDp8V7h3TozM6QeHB3xCPKHJsXKq-bViYXwTyks1OUcwLSJNLnsmYsnRJnNphxYAhcfcEyZpbOApiGadDbEBHEC5bquarNRe8x2eWrNc9ROnI0LMhwBBOz4y4QkGW_8x6IsiK5UC3/s320/Tilingasgt612.png" width="247" /></a></div>JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14765796947093429576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787727952766147454.post-71868652709851427762010-10-15T21:09:00.000-07:002010-10-15T21:09:00.364-07:00parallelogram grid tiling<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuydhfQOw-SFQz_xQIMe00LNg3BG63ewJcUhT-3is212rUY2yJHWXNXPx2X580ddfjIpbBHaBs1aqvL5INCyKaBylnfG5l_DBu4NLh5DHPKA4IIXICAPEkWmXh58yjoWYbBHkCJ6c-9TnF/s1600/NBtilingex9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuydhfQOw-SFQz_xQIMe00LNg3BG63ewJcUhT-3is212rUY2yJHWXNXPx2X580ddfjIpbBHaBs1aqvL5INCyKaBylnfG5l_DBu4NLh5DHPKA4IIXICAPEkWmXh58yjoWYbBHkCJ6c-9TnF/s400/NBtilingex9.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>The parallelogram tile is modified by parallel translation in both directions.JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14765796947093429576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787727952766147454.post-86248889170221394092010-10-11T16:10:00.000-07:002010-10-11T19:54:56.167-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirwYMsy8KEcy28KLwTlvW8d8ureQ9QPxK9BuqCTYIeXMbFhqbh6o4IMIi_o5dD0oG4T7ons4FUlDdRM0PD_b4cgowPb5apzXSprwLApxMHM8-Gu4oUvjhhOHMS5ZKZGyBaTLIzsIDbmJw8/s1600/Mike_Oprisko.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirwYMsy8KEcy28KLwTlvW8d8ureQ9QPxK9BuqCTYIeXMbFhqbh6o4IMIi_o5dD0oG4T7ons4FUlDdRM0PD_b4cgowPb5apzXSprwLApxMHM8-Gu4oUvjhhOHMS5ZKZGyBaTLIzsIDbmJw8/s320/Mike_Oprisko.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>JChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14765796947093429576noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787727952766147454.post-52919810730765641382010-10-10T19:37:00.000-07:002010-10-10T19:37:49.051-07:00Further information on tilingsThis site gives a more thorough study of tilings using regular polygons.<br />
