The period conjecture for periodic trajectories on triangle tilings
The period conjecture for periodic trajectories on triangle tilings
A triangle tiling is the edge-to-edge tiling of the plane by congruent copies of a triangle. The period of a periodic trajectory is the number of iterations, or equivalently the number of repeated trajectory steps, in its minimal return.
conjecture. Every periodic trajectory on a triangle tiling has period for some positive integer .
The source says that Hubert and Paris-Romaskevich subsequently proved this conjecture. It is therefore solved.
