  Heesch number
The Heesch number of a triangle, quadrilateral, regular hexagon, or any other single shape that can completely tile the plane (see tiling), is infinity.
The Heesch number of a shape is the maximum value of k for which all tiles in the k-th corona of any tiling are congruent to that shape.
This was thought to have a Heesch number of three; however, in 2000, Alex Day argued that the Ammann hexagon actually has a Heesch number of four, though there is a dispute about whether the difference has to do with a definition of tiling.

 Heesch's Problem
The Heesch number of a shape is the maximum value of k for which all tiles in the kth corona of any tiling are congruent to that shape.
Heesch's problem is to determine the largest possible finite Heesch number, or more generally what values other than zero and infinity can occur as the Heesch numbers.
It was believed that this shape had Heesch number three, until in April 2000 Alex Day pointed out that the actual number is four (perhaps this simply reflects a disagreement on the definition of a tiling, since his tiling is not simply connected -- the common boundary of certain pairs of tiles is disconnected).

Of course, a prototile that can be used to tile the entire plane has infinite Heesch number, but I am interested in those prototiles that cannot be used to tile the plane.

The authors of [2] define a Heesch tile with Heesch number r to be a tile T which can be surrounded r times but not r+1 times by tiles congruent to T. Let us define the surround number of a tile T to be the minimum number of such tiles needed to surround T once.
It is clear that this tile is a Heesch tile with Heesch number 1.
To show that this is indeed a Heesch tile with Heesch number 1, we start with the following observation: semicircular bumps in a straight line can only be completely covered by a single tile.

Other than an occasional private concert or a brief performance in sacrament meeting, Heesch's singing was put on hold while he made a living to support his wife Varna and six children (who’ve so far provided 12 grandchildren).
Heesch's CD, released on the Eagle Records label, is the kind of romantic album that takes you back to the days when high school dances featured dance bands (and real dancing with actual dance steps), velvet-voiced singers, and musical instruments besides guitars and drum sets.
Cuts from Heesch’s album are being played on local radio stations in that state, and he hopes they’ll soon be heard nationwide.

However, Heesch said the number of hurricane evacuees is likely much higher because only the head of household is required to sign up with the agency.

 M103 Notes 3-22-05
A given set S of configurations can be proved unavoidable if for a triangulation T which does not contain a configuration in S we can redistribute the charges (without changing the total charge) so that no vertex ends up with a positive charge.
Heesch thought that the Four Colour Conjecture could be solved by considering a set of around 8900 configurations.
There were difficulties with his approach since some of his configurations had a boundary of up to 18 edges and could not be tested for reducibility.

 The Four Color Theorem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
While the concept of reducibility was studied by other researchers as well, it appears that the idea of discharging, crucial for the unavoidability part of the proof, is due to Heesch, and that it was he who conjectured that a suitable development of this method would solve the Four Color Problem.
We confirm a conjecture of Heesch that in proving unavoidability, a reducible configuration can be found in the second neighborhood of an "overcharged" vertex; this is how we avoid "immersion" problems that were a major source of complication for Appel and Haken.

The tile is a square joined to an equilateral triangle and a 30-60-90 triangle, as shown, and you can surround it with copies of itself, so that each point on the central tile’s perimeter is a positive distance (> 0) from any point exterior to the area covered by the tiles.
But tiles that surround themselves once seem to be not too hard to find, at least if you don’t require convexity.
