Detecting Isohedral Polyforms with a SAT Solver

Discrete Mathematics 2024-06-25 v1 Computational Geometry

Abstract

I show how to express the question of whether a polyform tiles the plane isohedrally as a Boolean formula that can be tested using a SAT solver. This approach is adaptable to a wide range of polyforms, requires no special-case code for different isohedral tiling types, and integrates seamlessly with existing software for computing Heesch numbers of polyforms.
