SYMMETRY OF N-DIMENSIONAL PACKING SPACES

Symmetrical properties of packing spaces have been considered within t he framework of the method of discrete modeling of molecular packings in crystals. Point groups of packing spaces, which characterize the sy mmetry of the translational sublattice, and spatial symmetry transform ations of these spaces, which determine possible crystallographic symm etry groups of polyomino packings formed within this packing space, ha ve been introduced.
