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…

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 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…

Friezes patterns are infinite arrays of numbers, in which every four neighbouring vertices arranged in a diamond satisfy the same arithmetic rule. Introduced in the late 1960s by Coxeter, and further studied by Conway and Coxeter in their…

Frieze patterns of numbers, introduced in the early 70's by Coxeter, are currently attracting much interest due to connections with the recent theory of cluster algebras. The present paper aims to review the original work of Coxeter and the…

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…

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.

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…

We determine all arithmetic Y-Frieze patterns of width $3$ and $4$. As a consequence, for $n=3,4$, we verify the surjectivity of a map $p_n$ which corresponds arithmetic Y-Frieze patterns of width $n$ to Coxeter's Frieze patterns.

In this note, among other things, we show: There are periodic wild SLk-frieze patterns whose entries are positive integers. There are non-periodic SLk-frieze patterns whose entries are positive integers. There is an SL3-frieze pattern whose…

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…

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…

The main goal of this paper is to prove several new results about frieze patterns and their equivalents, the quiddity (or $\eta$-)sequences and to obtain a formula giving the number of non-similar frieze patterns of given finite width.

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…

Frieze patterns, as introduced by Coxeter in the 1970's, are closely related to cluster algebras without coefficients. A suitable generalization of frieze patterns, linked to cluster algebras with coefficients, has only briefly appeared in…

For a cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ of geometric type, a $\textit{frieze}$ of $\mathcal{A}$ is defined to be a $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra homomorphism from $\mathcal{A}$ to $\mathbb{Q}$ that takes positive integer values on all…

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…

A frieze on a polygon is a map from the diagonals of the polygon to an integral domain which respects the Ptolemy relation. Conway and Coxeter previously studied positive friezes over $\mathbb{Z}$ and showed that they are in bijection with…

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…

Floquet's Theorem is a celebrated result in the theory of ordinary differential equations. Essentially, the theorem states that, when studying a linear differential system with $T$-periodic coefficients, we can apply a, possibly complex,…
