Polyforms

Polyhex (mathematics)

In recreational mathematics, a polyhex is a polyform with a regular hexagon (or 'hex' for short) as the base form, constructed by joining together 1 or more hexagons. Specific forms are named by their number of hexagons: monohex, dihex, trihex, tetrahex, etc. They were named by David Klarner who investigated them. Each individual polyhex tile and tessellation polyhexes and can be drawn on a regular hexagonal tiling. (Wikipedia).

James Propp - Conjectural Enumerations of Trimer Covers of Finite Subgraphs of the Triangular (...)

The work of Conway and Lagarias applying combinatorial group theory to packing problems suggests what we might mean by “domain-wall boundary conditions” for the trimer model on the infinite triangular lattice in which the permitted trimers are triangle trimers and three-in-a-line trimers.
