Integer partitions express the different ways that a positive integer may be written as a sum of positive integers. Here we explore the analytic properties of a new polynomial $f_\lambda(x)$ that we call the partition polynomial for the…

This paper introduces a new systematic algorithm for constructing periodic Euclidean weaving diagrams with combinatorial arguments. It is shown that such a weaving diagram can be considered as a specific type of four-regular periodic planar…

We compute the Cech cohomology with integer coefficients of one-dimensional tiling spaces arising from not just one, but several different substitutions, all acting on the same set of tiles. These calculations involve the introduction of a…

By considering the tiling of an $N$-board (a linear array of $N$ square cells of unit width) with new types of tile that we refer to as combs, we give a combinatorial interpretation of the product of two consecutive generalized Fibonacci…

Let $A$ be a hereditary algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $A^{(m)}$ be the $m$-replicated algebra of $A$. Given an $A^{(m)}$-module $T$, we denote by $\delta (T)$ the number of non isomorphic indecomposable summands of $T$.…

We introduce a formalism for handling general spaces of hierarchical tilings, a category that includes substitution tilings, Bratteli-Vershik systems, S-adic transformations, and multi-dimensional cut-and-stack transformations. We explore…

An aperiodic tile set was first constructed by R.Berger while proving the undecidability of the domino problem. It turned out that aperiodic tile sets appear in many topics ranging from logic (the Entscheidungsproblem) to physics…

We introduce the idea that the P vs NP problem can have a finer structure. Given the NP complete problem of interest, the configurations space of the problem can be divided in (at least) two regions. In one region, polynomial algorithms to…

We consider tilings of a rectangle which is n units wide and m units long by non-overlapping 1 X 1 squares and s X s squares. Bivariate generating functions are computed with the Transfer Matrix Method for moderately large but fixed widths…

We study the cohomology and hence $K$-theory of the aperiodic tilings formed by the so called 'cut and project' method, i.e., patterns in $d$ dimensional Euclidean space which arise as sections of higher dimensional, periodic structures.…

This paper focuses on the undecidability of translational tiling of $n$-dimensional space $\mathbb{Z}^n$ with a set of $k$ tiles. It is known that tiling $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with translated copies with a set of $8$ tiles is undecidable.…

In this paper, we consider a generalization of the Stirling number sequence of both kinds by using a specialization of a new family of symmetric functions. We give combinatorial interpretations for this symmetric functions by means of…

We contribute results for a set of fundamental problems in the context of programmable matter by presenting algorithmic methods for evaluating and manipulating a collective of particles by a finite automaton that can neither store…

In this article we show that there exist measurable sets W in the plane with finite measure that tile the plane in a measurable way under the action of a expansive matrix A, an affine Weyl group W, and a full rank lattice G. This note is…

Motivated by a historical combinatorial problem that resembles the well-known Josephus problem, we investigate circular partition algorithms and formulate problems in deterministic finite automata with practical algorithms. The historical…

In the Categorical Clustering problem, we are given a set of vectors (matrix) A={a_1,\ldots,a_n} over \Sigma^m, where \Sigma is a finite alphabet, and integers k and B. The task is to partition A into k clusters such that the median…

In this paper, we prove that if a finite number of rectangles, every of which has at least one integer side, perfectly tile a big rectangle then there exists a strategy which reduces the number of these tiles (rectangles) without violating…

We consider tilings of the plane with 12-fold symmetry obtained by the cut and projection method. We compute their cohomology groups using the techniques introduced by the second author, Hunton and Kellendonk. To do this we completely…

A new method for constructing aperiodic tilings is presented. The method is illustrated by constructing a particular tiling and its hull. The properties of this tiling and the hull are studied. In particular it is shown that these tilings…
