"While previous research on tessellations has focused largely on how shapes can be used to tile or cover a surface -- for example, some well-known work carried out by Nobel Prize winner Sir Roger Penrose -- using the parqueting-reflection method to generate new tessellations opens up new possibilities. It is a practical tool for developing ways of representing functions within these tiled regions, which could be useful in areas such as mathematical physics and engineering."
