We study nonperiodic tilings of the line obtained by a projection method with an interval projection structure. We obtain a geometric characterisation of all interval projection tilings that admit substitution rules and describe the set of…
There are fifteen edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent pentagons with the edge combination $a^3b^2$: five one-parameter families of pentagonal subdivision tilings, and ten flip modifications of three special cases of two…
We consider a problem concerning tilings of rectangular regions by a finite library of polyominoes. We specifically look at rectangular regions of dimension $n\times m$ and ask whether or not a tiling of this region can be rearranged so…
To understand an aperiodic tiling (or a quasicrystal modeled on an aperiodic tiling), we construct a space of similar tilings, on which the group of translations acts naturally. This space is then an (abstract) dynamical system. Dynamical…
The problem of determining finite subsets of characteristic planar model sets (mathematical quasicrystals) $\varLambda$, called cyclotomic model sets, by parallel $X$-rays is considered. Here, an $X$-ray in direction $u$ of a finite subset…
Decorating the Spectre tile with hexagons reveals triangular hexagonal clusters whose structure we study. In the process we reprove that the Spectre tilings exist and are uniquely hierarchical. The proof is not computer-assisted.
One approach to achieving correct finite element assembly is to ensure that the local orientation of facets relative to each cell in the mesh is consistent with the global orientation of that facet. Rognes et al. have shown how to achieve…
For a large class of tilings, including the Penrose tiling in two dimension as well as the icosahedral ones in 3 dimension, the continuous hull of such a tiling inherits a minimal lamination structure with flat leaves and a transversal…
Planar curves with periodically varying curvature arise in the natural sciences as the result of a wide variety of periodic processes. The total curvature of a periodic arc in such curves constrains their symmetry. It is shown how the total…
Using the theory of extensors developed in a previous paper we present a theory of the parallelism structure on arbitrary smooth manifold. Two kinds of Cartan connection operators are introduced and both appear in intrinsic versions (i.e.,…
Some combinatorial properties of fixed boundary rhombus random tilings with octagonal symmetry are studied. A geometrical analysis of their configuration space is given as well as a description in terms of discrete dynamical systems, thus…
Simultaneous tiling for several different translational sets has been studied rather extensively, particularly in connection with the Steinhaus problem. The study of orthonormal wavelets in recent years, particularly for arbitrary dilation…
We define a relative version of tiling cohomology for the purpose of comparing the topology of tiling spaces when one is a factor of the other. We illustrate this with examples, and outline a method for computing the cohomology of tiling…
We consider tilings of quadriculated regions by dominoes and of triangulated regions by lozenges. We present an overview of results concerning tileability, enumeration and the structure of the space of tilings.
Moir\'e patterns of twisted and scaled bilayers have recently emerged as a fertile source of quasiperiodic order in two-dimensional materials. Inspired by these systems, we introduce the \emph{near-coincidence method} for generating…
Given a collection of N rectangles such that the side ratio of each one is a quadratic irrationality, we find all rectangles which can be tiled by rectangles similar to one of the given ones. It means that each possible shape can be used…
The tilings of the 2-dimensional sphere by congruent triangles have been extensively studied, and the edge-to-edge tilings have been completely classified. However, not much is known about the tilings by other congruent polygons. In this…
A tiling of a topological disc by topological discs is called monohedral if all tiles are congruent. Maltby (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 66: 40-52, 1994) characterized the monohedral tilings of a square by three topological discs. Kurusa,…
In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…
We study the geometry of spaces of planes on smooth complete intersections of three quadrics, with a view toward rationality questions.
