Abstract
Coordination sequences have been determined for tilings {p, q} of the hyperbolic plane in which q p-gons meet at each vertex. The number of vertices in successive shells is related by a recurrence to the numbers in earlier shells and grows exponentially. General expressions for the recurrences are given and numerical expressions for the growth rate are determined. For p = 3 – 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 exact expressions, that require finding roots of polynomials of degree ≤4, are given for the coordination sequence. Some differences between hyperbolic tilings and 3-dimensional nets are noted.
