Pinwheel tilings are non-periodic tilings defined by Charles Radin and based on a construction due to John Conway. They are the first known non-periodic tilings to each have the property that their tiles appear in infinitely many orientations. ==The Conway tessellation== Let be the right triangle with side length , and . Conway noticed that can be divided in five isometric copies of its image by the dilation of factor . By suitably rescaling and translating/rotating, this operation can be iterated to obtain an infinite increasing sequence of growing triangles all made of isometric copies of . The union of all these triangles yields a tiling of the whole plane by isometric copies of . In this tiling, isometric copies of appears in infinitely many orientations (this is due to the angles and of , both non-commensurable with ). Despite this, all the vertices have rational coordinates. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pinwheel tiling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
