A coloring-book approach to finding coordination sequences.
Acta crystallographica. Section A, Foundations and advances(2019)
摘要
An elementary method is described for finding the coordination sequences for a tiling, based on coloring the underlying graph. The first application is to the two kinds of vertices (tetravalent and trivalent) in the Cairo (or dual-3.4.3.4) tiling. The coordination sequence for a tetravalent vertex turns out, surprisingly, to be 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, …, the same as for a vertex in the familiar square (or 4) tiling. The authors thought that such a simple fact should have a simple proof, and this article is the result. The method is also used to obtain coordination sequences for the 3.4.3.4, 3.4.6.4, 4.8, 3.12 and 3.6 uniform tilings, and the snub-632 tiling. In several cases the results provide proofs for previously conjectured formulas.
