Abstract

We study the K\H{o}nig type property for non-simple polyominoes. We prove that, for closed path polyominoes, the polyomino ideals are of K\H{o}nig type, extending the results of Herzog and Hibi for simple thin polyominoes. As an application of this result, we give a combinatorial interpretation for the canonical module of the coordinate ring of a sub-class of closed path polyominoes, namely circle closed path polyominoes. In this case, we compute also the Cohen-Macaulay type and we show that K[P]K[\mathcal{P}] is a level ring.
