Uniform Tessellation


An n-uniform tessellation is an edge-to-edge tessellation of the Euclidean plane by regular polygons that has n transitivity classes of vertices under its full symmetry group, where n is a positive integer. The 1-uniform tessellations are sometimes known as Archimedean tessellations. Here edge-to-edge means that the intersection of two distinct regular polygons is empty, a common polygon vertex, or an entire polygon edge of both regular polygons. The numbers of n-uniform tessellations for n=1, 2, ... are 11, 20, 61, 151, 332, 673, ... (OEIS A068599).
