Let $f(x)$, $x\in\mathbb R^2$, be a piecewise smooth function with a jump discontinuity across a smooth surface $\mathcal S$. Let $f_{\Lambda\epsilon}$ denote the Lambda tomography (LT) reconstruction of $f$ from its discrete Radon data…

Let T be a tile in the Cartesian plane made up of finitely many rectangles whose corners have rational coordinates and whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a square to be…

We show that translational tiling problems in a quotient of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ can be effectively reduced or ``simulated'' by translational tiling problems in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. In particular, for any $d \in \mathbb{N}$, $k < d$ and…

In the context of global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear optimization formulations, we consider smoothing univariate functions $f$ that satisfy $f(0)=0$, $f$ is increasing and concave on $[0,+\infty)$, $f$ is twice differentiable on…

We study single-flip dynamics in sets of three-dimensional rhombus tilings with fixed polyhedral boundaries. This dynamics is likely to be slowed down by so-called ``cycles'': such structures arise when tilings are encoded via the…

Recently, Greenfeld and Tao disprove the conjecture that translational tilings of a single tile can always be periodic [Ann. Math. 200(2024), 301-363]. In another paper [to appear in J. Eur. Math. Soc.], they also show that if the dimension…

The translational tiling problem, dated back to Wang's domino problem in the 1960s, is one of the most representative undecidable problems in the field of discrete geometry and combinatorics. Ollinger initiated the study of the…

We construct a real sequence $\{\lambda_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ satisfying $\lambda_n = n + o(1)$, and a Schwartz function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$, such that for any $N$ the system of translates $\{f(x - \lambda_n)\}$, $n > N$, is complete in the…

Step by step completion of a left-to-right tiling of a rectangular floor with tiles of a single shape starts from one edge of the floor, considers the possible ways of inserting a tile at the leftmost uncovered square, passes through a…

To understand an aperiodic tiling (or a quasicrystal modeled on an aperiodic tiling), we construct a space of similar tilings, on which the group of translations acts naturally. This space is then an (abstract) dynamical system. Dynamical…

Suppose $\Omega\subseteq\RR^d$ is a bounded and measurable set and $\Lambda \subseteq \RR^d$ is a lattice. Suppose also that $\Omega$ tiles multiply, at level $k$, when translated at the locations $\Lambda$. This means that the…

A self-affine tiling of a compact set G of positive Lebesgue measure is its partition to parallel shifts of a compact set which is affinely similar to G. We find all polyhedral sets (unions of finitely many convex polyhedra) that admit…

A translational surface is a tensor product surface constructed from two space curves by translating one along the other. These surfaces are common within geometric modeling and, since their description is parametric, it is desirable to…

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 study the existence of Gabor orthonormal bases with window the characteristic function of the set W=[0,a] U [b+a, b+1] of measure 1, with a, b>0. By the symmetries of the problem, we can restrict our attention to the case a<=1/2. We…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain that can be written as $\Omega=\bigcup_{t} \Omega_t$, where $\{\Omega_t\}_{t\in\Gamma}$ is a countable collection of domains with certain properties. In this work, we develop a technique…

We prove and generalize a conjecture in arXiv:1610.0474(4) about the asymptotics of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{n!}} f^{\lambda/\mu}$, where $f^{\lambda/\mu}$ is the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shape $\lambda/\mu$ which have stable limit…

The notion of weak tiling played a key role in the proof of Fuglede's spectral set conjecture for convex domains, due to the fact that every spectral set must weakly tile its complement. In this paper, we revisit the notion of weak tiling…

We study Translation functors and Wall-Crossing functors on infinite dimensional representations of a complex semisimple Lie algebra using D-modules. This functorial machinery is then used to prove the Endomorphism-theorem and the…

We characterize the polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (not necessarily convex or connected ones) which multi-tile the space by translations along a given lattice. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for two polytopes in…
