2017, issue 2, P. 257-265


Abstract
A tiling is called a lattice tiling if there is a group of translations which acts on the set of the tiles transitively. In the paper the low and upper bounds for the number of lattice tilings of plane with centrally symmetrical polyhexes are found

Keywords:
tilings, lattice tilings, polyhexes, self-avoiding walks
