Review text

The goal of the present paper is to study topological properties of crystiles. The authors give an algorithmic way to construct all the tiles \(\gamma(\tau)\) having non-empty intersection with the ``central tile \(\tau\) in a crystallographic tiling and give some upper bound for the runtime of this algorithm. In fact, the set of the neighboring tiles forms the set of vertices of a graph which the authors call the neighborhood graph on the tiling. In the case of two-dimensional crystiles this neighborhood graph is used to establish an algorithmic criterion which allows to check whether a given plane crystile is homeomorphic to a disk or not. This criterion is applied to Gelbrich's example in order to show which of his candidates are really disk-like.
