2L-convex polyominoes: Geometrical aspects

Source abstract

A polymino P is called 2L-convex if for every two cells there exists a monotone path included in P with at most 2 changes of direction. This paper studies the geometrical aspects of a sub-class of 2L-convex polyominoes called I0,02L and states a characterization of it in terms of monotone paths. In a second part, 4 geometries are introduced and the tomographical point of view is investigated using the switching components (that is the elements of this sub-class that have the same projections). Finally, some unicity results are given for the reconstruction of these polyominoes according to their projections.
