Empilement de cerclesvignette|Il n'est pas évident de regrouper des cercles de tailles différentes de la façon la plus compacte. En géométrie, un empilement de cercles ou empilement de disques est un arrangement de cercles ou de disques, de tailles identiques ou non, dans un domaine donné, de telle sorte qu'aucun chevauchement ne se produise et qu'aucun cercle/disque ne puisse être agrandi sans créer de chevauchement. On se pose à leur sujet divers problèmes comme la recherche d'empilements de densité maximale, ou au contraire, minimale.
Coloration uniformelien=//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Square_tiling_uniform_colorings.png/240px-Square_tiling_uniform_colorings.png|vignette|240x240px| Le pavage carré possède 9 colorations uniformes :1111, 1112(a), 1112(b),1122, 1123(a), 1123(b),1212, 1213, 1234. En géométrie, une coloration uniforme est une propriété d'une figure uniforme ( pavage uniforme (en) ou polyèdre uniforme ) qui est colorée pour être isogonale. Différentes symétries peuvent être présentes sur une figure géométrique ayant des faces colorées suivant différents motifs uniformes de couleurs.
Order-3 apeirogonal tilingIn geometry, the order-3 apeirogonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is represented by the Schläfli symbol {∞,3}, having three regular apeirogons around each vertex. Each apeirogon is inscribed in a horocycle. The order-2 apeirogonal tiling represents an infinite dihedron in the Euclidean plane as {∞,2}. Each apeirogon face is circumscribed by a horocycle, which looks like a circle in a Poincaré disk model, internally tangent to the projective circle boundary.
Goldberg polyhedronIn mathematics, and more specifically in polyhedral combinatorics, a Goldberg polyhedron is a convex polyhedron made from hexagons and pentagons. They were first described in 1937 by Michael Goldberg (1902–1990). They are defined by three properties: each face is either a pentagon or hexagon, exactly three faces meet at each vertex, and they have rotational icosahedral symmetry. They are not necessarily mirror-symmetric; e.g. GP(5,3) and GP(3,5) are enantiomorphs of each other.
Heptagonal tilingIn geometry, a heptagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is represented by Schläfli symbol of {7,3}, having three regular heptagons around each vertex. This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular polyhedra with Schläfli symbol {n,3}. From a Wythoff construction there are eight hyperbolic uniform tilings that can be based from the regular heptagonal tiling. Drawing the tiles colored as red on the original faces, yellow at the original vertices, and blue along the original edges, there are 8 forms.
Pavage hexagonal tronquéIn geometry, the truncated hexagonal tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are 2 dodecagons (12-sides) and one triangle on each vertex. As the name implies this tiling is constructed by a truncation operation applies to a hexagonal tiling, leaving dodecagons in place of the original hexagons, and new triangles at the original vertex locations. It is given an extended Schläfli symbol of t{6,3}. Conway calls it a truncated hextille, constructed as a truncation operation applied to a hexagonal tiling (hextille).
Pavage triangulaire allongéIn geometry, the elongated triangular tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are three triangles and two squares on each vertex. It is named as a triangular tiling elongated by rows of squares, and given Schläfli symbol {3,6}:e. Conway calls it a isosnub quadrille. There are 3 regular and 8 semiregular tilings in the plane. This tiling is similar to the snub square tiling which also has 3 triangles and two squares on a vertex, but in a different order.
Octagonal tilingIn geometry, the octagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It is represented by Schläfli symbol of {8,3}, having three regular octagons around each vertex. It also has a construction as a truncated order-8 square tiling, t{4,8}. Like the hexagonal tiling of the Euclidean plane, there are 3 uniform colorings of this hyperbolic tiling. The dual tiling V8.8.8 represents the fundamental domains of [(4,4,4)] symmetry. The regular map {8,3}2,0 can be seen as a 6-coloring of the {8,3} hyperbolic tiling.
