Abstract
The Smith Hat tile is the first known aperiodic monotile, having been discovered in 2023. The simple structure, constructed using only 8 kites, is unique and well motivated for analysis within percolation theory. The primary goal of this paper is to discover the critical threshold in both site and bond Bernoulli structures using Monte Carlo simulation for the Smith hat tile(1,). Our findings are site and bond values of and for edge percolation and for site percolation on the dual graph.
