Fair partitions of the plane into incongruent pentagons
Dirk Frettl\"oh, Christian Richter

TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that the entire Euclidean plane can be partitioned into convex pentagons that are all different from each other but share the same area and perimeter, addressing a longstanding geometric question.
Contribution
It introduces a novel method for partitioning the plane into incongruent convex pentagons with equal area and perimeter, solving a problem posed by R. Nandakumar.
Findings
Plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex pentagons
All pentagons have the same area and perimeter
Addresses a longstanding open problem in geometric dissections
Abstract
Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex pentagons of the same area and the same perimeter.
