A frieze is an array of numbers obeying the unimodular rule. Coxeter showed that a frieze with integer entries corresponds to a triangulation. Recently, Holm and J{\o}rgenson introduced friezes of type $\Lambda_p$ which correspond to…

We provide a classification of positive integral friezes on marked bordered surfaces in the style of Conway and Coxeter. More precisely, we prove that positive integral friezes are in one-to-one correspondence with ideal triangulations…

The famous theorem of Conway and Coxeter on frieze patterns gave a geometric interpretation to integral friezes via triangulations of polygons. In this article, we review this result and show some of the development it has led to. The last…

We study the number of factorizations of a positive integer, where the parts of the factorization are of l different colors (or kinds). Recursive or explicit formulas are derived for the case of unordered and ordered, distinct and…

An $SL_k$-tiling is a bi-infinite array of integers having all adjacent $k\times k$ minors equal to one and all adjacent $(k+1)\times (k+1)$ minors equal to zero. Introduced and studied by Bergeron and Reutenauer, $SL_k$-tilings generalize…

Let $k$ be an integer which is the difference between prime numbers infinitely often. It is known that there are infinitely many such $k$ and, in this paper, we give a new unconditional proof that these $k$ have positive density and improve…

We show that for any positive forward density subset N \subset Z, there exists an integer m>0, such that, for all n>m, N contains almost perfect n-scaled reproductions of any previously chosen finite set of integers.

Finite frieze patterns with entries in $\mathbb{Z}[\lambda_{p_1},\ldots,\lambda_{p_s}]$ where $\{p_1,\ldots,p_s\} \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 3}$ and $\lambda_p = 2 \cos(\pi/p)$ were shown to have a connection to dissected polygons by Holm…

The infinite friezes of positive integers were introduced by Tschabold as a variation of the classical Conway-Coxeter frieze patterns. These infinite friezes were further shown be to realizable via triangulations of the infinite strip by…

Let $R$ be an arbitrary subset of a commutative ring. We introduce a combinatorial model for the set of tame frieze patterns with entries in $R$ based on a notion of irreducibility of frieze patterns. When $R$ is a ring, then a frieze…

Let Q be a quiver without loops and 2-cycles, let A(Q) be the corresponding cluster algebra and let x be a cluster. We introduce a new class of integer vectors which we call frieze vectors relative to x. These frieze vectors are defined as…

Frieze patterns are combinatorial objects that are deeply related to cluster theory. Determinants of frieze patterns arise from triangular regions of the frieze, and they have been considered in previous works by Broline-Crowe-Isaacs, and…

We study (tame) frieze patterns over subsets of the complex numbers, with particular emphasis on the corresponding quiddity cycles. We provide new general transformations for quiddity cycles of frieze patterns. As one application, we…

In this article, we establish a relation between the values of a frieze of type D-tile and some values of an SL2-tiling t associated with a particular quiver of type A-tilde . This relation allows us to compute, independently of each other,…

Motivated by cluster ensembles, we introduce a new variant of frieze patterns associated to acyclic cluster algebras, which we call ${\bf Y}\textit{-frieze patterns}$. Using the mutation rules for ${\bf Y}$-variables, we define a large…

In this note, we show that the sequence of maximum values in frieze patterns of type $A_n$ is the sequence of Fibonacci numbers, and that of frieze patterns of type $C_n$ is the sequence of odd Fibonacci numbers.

This paper studies non-autonomous Lyness type recurrences of the form $x_{n+2}=(a_n+x_{n+1})/x_{n}$, where $\{a_n\}$ is a $k$-periodic sequence of positive numbers with primitive period $k$. We show that for the cases $k\in\{1,2,3,6\}$ the…

We give an elementary account of the notion of Y-frieze patterns, explain some of their properties, and reveal their connection with Coxeter's frieze patterns.

In this article, we establish a link between the values of a frieze of type D and some values of a particular frieze of type A. This link allows us to compute, independently of each other, all the cluster variables in the cluster algebra…

For some extremal (optimal) odd unimodular lattice $L$ in dimensions $12,16,20,28,32,36,40$ and $44$, we determine all integers $k$ such that $L$ contains a $k$-frame. This result yields the existence of an extremal Type I…
