Comments

Heesch numbers look at the buildout of coronal layers from a single type of tile. In contrast this sequence looks at a single type of tile being asked to form a corona around an expanding central frame.

This central frame tiled with the hexiamond boat tile has a coronal expansion number of 12 (see links below).

A376899 shows coronal tilings for the expansion of a central triangle frame and gives the definition for the coronal expansion number.

Combining individual polyiamonds in various ways creates a variety of expansion frames.Craig Knecht, Nov 29 2024
