ABSTRACT
This paper describes different tools, developed by the authors, for the comprehensive analysis and cataloguing of Islamic design patterns from digital images, in the context of the Plane Symmetry Groups theory. For validation of the results, was chosen the ceramic tiles of the Real Alcazar of Seville (Spain), a palace built in the 14th century, highly decorated with ceramic mosaics whose patterns were designed using a specific technique called "lacerías" (interweaving manufacturing technique in tiling, where the pieces seem to be interweaved). This fact together with its handcraft nature has required the development of specific stages for design pattern analysis.

Convex Pentagons for Edge-to-Edge Tiling, II
Based on Bagina's Proposition, it has previously been demonstrated that there remain 34 cases where it is uncertain whether a convex pentagon can generate an edge-to-edge tiling. In this paper, these cases are further refined by imposing extra edge ...
