Isoperimetric pentagonal tilings. (English) Zbl 1253.52009
From the text: In 2001, T. Hales proved the honeycomb conjecture, which says that regular hexagons provide a least-perimeter tiling of the plane by unit-area regions. In this paper we seek perimeter-minimizing tilings of the plane by unit-area pentagons.
