Abstract

A d-dimensional polycube is a (d-1)-face-connected set of cubes in d dimensions. Fixed polycubes are considered distinct if they differ in shape or orientation. The cube-adjacency graph of a tree polycube is a tree. In this paper we investigate the asymptotic growth rate of d-dimensional tree polycubes, and estimate it at (2. d-3.5). e+. O(1/d).
