We give general results for triangle tilings, and for a division of the plane by a finite number of lines. We also explore the particularly interesting dynamics of the trihexagonal tiling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-06T21:30:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "negatively refracted light", "finite number", "triangle tilings", "general results", "planar tilings" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
