A group-theoretical approach to the construction of quasiperiodic tilings of a Euclidean plane, possessing five-fold symmetry, is applied. Of the infinitely many of variants of quasiperiodic partitions of the plane, possessing the dihedral…
Which polygons admit two (or more) distinct lattice tilings of the plane? We call such polygons double tiles. It is well-known that a lattice tiling is always combinatorially isomorphic either to a grid of squares or to a grid of regular…
We study decision problems on geometric tilings. First, we study a variant of the Domino problem where square tiles are replaced by geometric tiles of arbitrary shape. We show that this variant is undecidable regardless of the shapes,…
We present a method for generating hexagonal aperiodic tilings that are topologically equivalent to the triangular and dice lattices. This approach incorporates aperiodic sequences into the spacing between three sets of grids for the…
The present article studies combinatorial tilings of Euclidean or spherical spaces by polytopes, serving two main purposes: first, to survey some of the main developments in combinatorial space tiling; and second, to highlight some new and…
We give strongly aperiodic subshifts of finite type on every hyperbolic surface group; more generally, for each pair of expansive primitive symbolic substitution systems with incommensurate growth rates, we construct strongly aperiodic…
Traditionally a tiling is defined with a finite number of finite forbidden patterns. We can generalize this notion considering any set of patterns. Generalized tilings defined in this way can be studied with a dynamical point of view,…
In this paper, we introduce the periodic tiling (PT) property for finite abelian groups. A finite abelian group is said to have the PT property if every non-periodic set that tiles the group by translation admits a periodic tiling…
Icosahedron and dodecahedron can be dissected into tetrahedral tiles projected from 3D-facets of the Delone polytopes representing the deep and shallow holes of the root lattice D_6. The six fundamental tiles of tetrahedra of edge lengths 1…
In this paper, we propose an Integer Linear Model whose solutions are the aperiodic rhythms tiling with a given rhythm A. We show how this model can be used to efficiently check the necessity of the Coven-Meyerowitz's $(T2)$ condition and…
We consider two families of planar self-similar tilings of different nature: the tilings consisting of translated copies of the fractal sets defined by an iterated function system, and the tilings obtained as a geometrical realization of a…
Given a tiling of a 2D grid with several types of tiles, we can count for every row and column how many tiles of each type it intersects. These numbers are called the_projections_. We are interested in the problem of reconstructing a tiling…
A convex pentagonal tile is a convex pentagon that admits a monohedral tiling. We show that a convex pentagonal tile that admits a periodic tiling has a property in which the sum of three internal angles of the pentagon is equal to…
We classify all edge-to-edge spherical isohedral 4-gonal tilings such that the skeletons are pseudo-double wheels. For this, we characterize these spherical tilings by a quadratic equation for the cosine of an edge-length. By the…
This paper aims to better understand the link better understand the links between aperiodicity in subshifts and pattern complexity. Our main contribution deals with substitutive subshifts, an equivalent to substitutive tilings in the…
We look at sets of tiles that can tile any region of size greater than 1 on the square grid. This is not the typical tiling question, but relates closely to it and therefore can help solve other tiling problems -- we give an example of…
The straight-line flow on almost every staircase and on almost every square tiled staircase is recurrent. For almost every square tiled staircase the set of periodic orbits is dense in the phase space.
We present a multi-edge-length aperiodic tiling which exhibits 6--fold rotational symmetry. The edge lengths of the tiling are proportional to 1:$\tau$, where $\tau$ is the golden mean $\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$. We show how the tiling can be…
This paper describes an alternative method of generating fixed points of certain substitution systems. This method centres on taking infinite words consisting of one repeated letter per word. These infinite words are then interlaced to form…
Inspired by the modelization of 2D materials systems, we characterize arrangements of identical nonflat squares in 3D. We prove that the fine geometry of such arrangements is completely characterized in terms of patterns of mutual…
