We find the exact formula for the number of distinct $n \times n$ square patterns which appear in a Robinson tiling made of one infinite order supertile.
A semi-regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane is a tessellation by regular geodesic polygons with the property that each vertex has the same vertex-type, which is a cyclic tuple of integers that determine the number of sides of the polygons…
For any delta > 1 we construct a periodic and locally finite packing of the plane with ellipses whose delta-enlargement covers the whole plane. This answers a question of Imre B\'ar\'any. On the other hand, we show that if C is a packing in…
In this paper, we remind previous results about the tilings $\{p,q\}$ of the hyperbolic plane. We introduce two new ways to split the hyperbolic plane in order to algorithmically construct the tilings $\{p,q\}$ when $q$ is odd.
In this paper we define an infinite family of triangular tilings of the hyperbolic plane defined by two parameters ranging in the natural nummbers and we give a uniform way to define coordinates for locating the triangles of the tiling.
We introduce an elementary transformation called flips on tilings by squares and triangles and conjecture that it connects any two tilings of the same region of the Euclidean plane.
In this paper, we propose to enumerate all different configurations belonging to a specific class of fractals: A binary initial tile is selected and a finite recursive tiling process is engaged to produce auto-similar binary patterns. For…

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 say that a tiling separates discs of a packing in the Euclidean plane, if each tile contains exactly one member of the packing. It is a known elementary geometric problem to show that for each locally finite packing of circular discs,…
A famous result of D. Walkup states that the only rectangles that may be tiled by the T-tetromino are those in which both sides are a multiple of four. In this paper we examine the rest of the rectangles, asking how many T-tetrominos may be…
A tiling of the sphere by triangles, squares, or hexagons is convex if every vertex has at most 6, 4, or 3 polygons adjacent to it, respectively. Assigning an appropriate weight to any tiling, our main result is explicit formulas for the…
This paper proves a corner occupying theorem for the two-dimensional integral rectangle packing problem, stating that if it is possible to orthogonally place n arbitrarily given integral rectangles into an integral rectangular container…
We say that a tile is $\sigma$-morphic if it tiles the plane in exactly $\aleph_0$ many noncongruent ways (up to an isometry). It is an unsolved problem of whether a $\sigma$-morphic tile exist in the plane. In this note we present a…
This investigation studies the decidability problem of plane edge coloring with three symbols. In the edge coloring (or Wang tiles) of a plane, unit squares with colored edges that have one of $p$ colors are arranged side by side such that…
Cylindrical algebraic decompositions (CADs) are a key tool for solving problems in real algebraic geometry and beyond. We recently presented a new CAD algorithm combining two advances: truth-table invariance, making the CAD invariant with…
If n is a multiple of 4, then a square of side n can be tiled with T-tetrominos, using a well-known construction. If n is even but not a multiple of four, then there exists an equally well-known construction for tiling a square of side n…
A tiling of the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube gives rise to a perfect code (according to a given metric) if the basic tile is a metric ball. We are concerned with metrics on the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube which are determined by a weight…
We discuss the self-assembly system of triangular tiles instead of square tiles, in particular right triangular tiles and equilateral triangular tiles. We show that the triangular tile assembly system, either deterministic or…
