Abstract: There exist tilings of the plane with pairwise noncongruent triangles of equal area and bounded perimeter. Analogously, there exist tilings with triangles of equal perimeter, the areas of which are bounded from below by a positive constant. This solves a problem of Nandakumar.

Review text

Earlier work by the authors, published in [\textit{A. Kupavskii} et al., Eur. J. Comb. 73, 72--80 (2018; Zbl 1406.52040)] is here continued. It is shown that (Theorem 1) there exist tilings of the plane with pairwise noncongruent triangles of unit area, the perimeters of which are bounded from above by a constant; and that (Theorem 2) there exist tilings of the plane with pairwise noncongruent triangles of unit perimeter, the areas of which are bounded from above by a constant.
