We classify 2-periodic mesh friezes of finite type $A$, $D$ or $E$ with positive real entries. There are families with 0,1, or 2 parameters, depending on type.

We provide a characterization of infinite frieze patterns of positive integers via triangulations of an infinite strip in the plane. In the periodic case, these triangulations may be considered as triangulations of annuli. We also give a…

We consider the variant of Coxeter-Conway frieze patterns called 2-frieze. We prove that there exist infinitely many closed integral 2-friezes (i.e. containing only positive integers) provided the width of the array is bigger than 4. We…

We study non-zero integral friezes for Dynkin types $A_n$, $B_n$, $C_n$, $D_n$ and $G_2$. These differ from standard Coxeter-Conway (positive) friezes by allowing any non-zero integer to appear. In each case we show that there are either…

Tame SL$_2$-tilings are related to Farey graph and friezes; much less is known about wild (not tame) SL$_2$-tilings. In this note, we demonstrate SL$_2$-tilings that are maximally wild: we prove that the maximum wild density of an integer…

In this article we consider tame $ SL_3 $-friezes that arise by specializing a cluster of Pl\"ucker variables in the coordinate ring of the Grassmannian $ \mathscr{G}(3,n) $ to $ 1 $. We show how to calculate arbitrary entries of such…

We define the notion of infinite friezes of positive integers as a variation of Conway-Coxeter frieze patterns and study their properties. We introduce useful gluing and cutting operations on infinite friezes. It turns out that…

In this article we count tame $ SL_3 $- and $ SL_4 $-frieze patterns with width $ w $ over a finite field $ K $, as well as some tame $ SL_k $-frieze patterns for higher $ k $. Let $ n = w + k + 1 $. We consider the sets $ C_k(n) $ of…

In this article, we construct SL$_k$-friezes using Pl\"ucker coordinates, making use of the cluster structure on the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian of $k$-spaces in $n$-space via the Pl\"ucker embedding. When this cluster…

Conway and Coxeter have shown that frieze patterns over positive rational integers are in bijection with triangulations of polygons. An investigation of frieze patterns over other subsets of the complex numbers has recently been initiated…

We count numbers of tame frieze patterns with entries in a finite commutative local ring. For the ring $\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z}$, $p$ a prime and $r\in\mathbb{N}$ we obtain closed formulae for all heights. These may be interpreted as…

Recently there has been significant progress in classifying integer friezes and $\text{SL}_2$-tilings. Typically, combinatorial methods are employed, involving triangulations of regions and inventive counting techniques. Here we develop a…

Given two Coxeter's frieze patterns with the same width and consisting of positive numbers, choose a row and consider the periodic sequence of the differences of the respective entries of the two friezes. We ask for which rows this sequence…

The notion of $SL_2$-tiling is a generalization of that of classical Coxeter-Conway frieze pattern. We classify doubly antiperiodic $SL_2$-tilings that contain a rectangular domain of positive integers. Every such $SL_2$-tiling corresponds…

Frieze patterns (in the sense of Conway and Coxeter) are related to cluster algebras of type A and to signed continuant polynomials. In view of studying certain classes of cluster algebras with coefficients, we extend the concept of signed…

Frieze patterns are numerical arrangements that satisfy a local arithmetic rule. These arrangements are actively studied in connection to the theory of cluster algebras. In the setting of cluster algebras, the notion of a frieze pattern can…

Frieze patterns have an interesting combinatorial structure, which has proven very useful in the study of cluster algebras. We introduce $(k,n)$-frieze patterns, a natural generalisation of the classical notion. A generalisation of the…

The notion of a $(k,n)$-frieze pattern was introduced by the author as a generalisation of the classical frieze patterns. In this article we describe connections between classes of $(3,n)$-frieze patterns and classes of…

For some extremal (optimal) odd unimodular lattices L in dimensions n=12,16,20,32,36,40 and 44, we determine all positive integers k such that L contains a k-frame. This result yields the existence of an extremal Type I Zk-code of lengths…

Consider the number of permutations in the symmetric group on n letters that contain c copies of a given pattern. As c varies (with n held fixed) these numbers form a sequence whose properties we study for the monotone patterns and the…
