Recently Taylor and Socolar introduced an aperiodic mono-tile. The associated tiling can be viewed as a substitution tiling. We use the substitution rule for this tiling and apply the algorithm of \cite{AL} to check overlap coincidence. It…
We present a simplified proof of a forty-year-old result concerning the tiling of the plane with equilateral convex polygons. Our approach is based on a theorem by M. Rao, who used an exhaustive computer search to confirm the completeness…
We study tilings of rectangular boards using unit squares together with a single type of big tile shaped as a Ferrers diagram. We derive generating functions for these tilings, prove real-rootedness and interlacing properties of associated…
We develop the necessary machinery in order to prove that hexagonal tilings are uniquely determined by their Tutte polynomial, showing as an example how to apply this technique to the toroidal hexagonal tiling.
The edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent polygons, where all edges are straight, have been completely classified. We classify the curvilinear version of the similar triangular tilings, where the edges may not be straight, and…
This article examines the tilings of a strip with equilateral triangles. The number of ways in which the lattices can be covered with a combination of tiles of the two types of triangles is related to Pell's numbers. Additionally, the…
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…
In this remark we discuss a relationship between (co)homology classes of a symplectic manifold realized by symplectic and lagrangian objects. We establish some transversality condition for the classes, realized by symplectic divisors and…
This paper characterizes all the convex domains which can form six-fold lattice tilings of the Euclidean plane. They are parallelograms, centrally symmetric hexagons, one type of centrally symmetric octagons and two types of decagons.
Square-tiled surfaces are a class of translation surfaces that are of particular interest in geometry and dynamics because, as covers of the square torus, they share some of its simplicity and structure. In this paper, we study counting…
We present a single, connected tile which can tile the plane but only non-periodically. The tile is hexagonal with edge markings, which impose simple rules as to how adjacent tiles are allowed to meet across edges. The first of these rules…
We count tilings of a rectangle of integer sides m-1 and n-1 by a special set of tiles. The result is obtained fron the study of the kernel of the adjacency matrix of an n x n rectangular graph of Z x Z.
Aperiodic tilings with a small number of prototiles are of particular interest, both theoretically and for applications in crystallography. In this direction, many people have tried to construct aperiodic tilings that are built from a…
We classify the dihedral edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by regular polygons and quadrilaterals with equal opposite edges (edge configuration xyxy).
A separated net is a set of points which is relatively dense and uniformly discrete (another name for a Delone set). We are dealing with tilings and separated nets in Euclidean spaces and with the question whether a given separated net is…
We show that the well known two-dimensional Penrose tiling admits an infinite number of independent scaling factors and an infinite number of inflation centers.
In this paper, we extend some classes of structured matrices to higher order tensors. We discuss their relationships with positive semi-definite tensors and some other structured tensors. We show that every principal sub-tensor of such a…
We present experiments of sandpiles on grids (square, triangular, hexagonal) and Penrose tilings. The challenging part is to program such simulator; and our javacript code is available online, ready to play! We first present some identity…
We provide a complete description of the edge-to-edge tilings with a regular triangle and a shield-shaped hexagon with no right angle. The case of a hexagon with a right angle is also briefly discussed.
A combinatorial tiling of the sphere is naturally given by an embedded graph. We study the case that each tile has exactly five edges, with the ultimate goal of classifying combinatorial tilings of the sphere by geometrically congruent…
