Some 2-adic conjectures concerning polyomino tilings of Aztec diamonds

Combinatorics 2024-07-08 v4

Abstract

For various sets of tiles, we count the ways to tile an Aztec diamond of order nn using tiles from that set. The resulting function f(n)f(n) often has interesting behavior when one looks at nn and f(n)f(n) modulo powers of 2.
