Monohedral tiling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A monohedral tiling is a tessellation in which all tiles are congruent. Examples include:

• The Voderberg tiling discovered by Hans Voderberg in 1936, which is the earliest known spiral tiling. The unit tile is a bent enneagon.
• The Hirschhorn tiling discovered by Michael Hirschhorn in the 1970s. The unit tile is an irregular pentagon.
