Indecomposable coverings with homothetic polygons (1312.4597v2)
Published 17 Dec 2013 in cs.CG, math.CO, and math.MG
Abstract: We prove that for any convex polygon $S$ with at least four sides, or a concave one with no parallel sides, and any $m>0$, there is an $m$-fold covering of the plane with homothetic copies of $S$ that cannot be decomposed into two coverings.
