Abstract:
In this work, we consider the tessellations (or tilings) of Euclidean
and hyperbolic planes using copies of a regular polygon. We introduce
the concept of k-type of vertices and edges, which allow a thorough
control of these elements when the tessellation increases, and we
obtain an enumeration for the vertices, edges, and polygons at a given
distance.
