Enumeration of generalized polyominoes

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

As a generalization of polyominoes we consider edge-to-edge connected nonoverlapping unions of regular kk-gons. For n4n\le 4 we determine formulas for the number ak(n)a_k(n) of generalized polyominoes consisting of nn regular kk-gons. Additionally we give a table of the numbers ak(n)a_k(n) for small kk and nn obtained by computer enumeration. We finish with some open problems for kk-polyominoes.
