A positive integer $n$ is called a tiling number if the equilateral triangle can be dissected into $nk^2$ congruent triangles for some integer $k$. An integer $n>3$ is tiling number if and only if at least one of the elliptic curves…

We establish a best-possible minimum codegree condition for the existence of a perfect tiling of a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with copies of the generalised triangle $T$, which is the 3-uniform hypergraph with five vertices $a, b, c, d, e$…

We prove that any finite collection of polygons of equal area has a common hinged dissection. That is, for any such collection of polygons there exists a chain of polygons hinged at vertices that can be folded in the plane continuously…

We show it is possible to tile three-dimensional space using only tetrahedra with acute dihedral angles. We present several constructions to achieve this, including one in which all dihedral angles are less than $77.08^\circ$, and another…

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…

We study the minimal complexity of tilings of a plane with a given tile set. We note that every tile set admits either no tiling or some tiling with O(n) Kolmogorov complexity of its n-by-n squares. We construct tile sets for which this…

There is only one type of tilings of the sphere by $12$ congruent pentagons. These tilings are isohedral.

We show that for any closed, orientable surface $K$ smoothly embedded in $\mathbb{R}^4$, the unit $4$-ball $B^4 \subset \mathbb{R}^4$ can be tiled using $n \geq 3$ tiles each congruent to a regular neighborhood (with corners) of a surface…

By the theorem of Mantel $[5]$ it is known that a graph with $n$ vertices and $\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4} \rfloor+1$ edges must contain a triangle. A theorem of Erd\H{o}s gives a strengthening: there are not only one, but at least…

The Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem,…

We consider whether any two triangulations of a polygon or a point set on a non-planar surface with a given metric can be transformed into each other by a sequence of edge flips. The answer is negative in general with some remarkable…

Several articles deal with tilings with squares and dominoes on 2-dimensional boards, but only a few on boards in 3-dimensional space. We examine a tiling problem with colored cubes and bricks of $(2\times2\times n)$-board in three…

In 1988, Erd\H{o}s suggested the question of minimizing the number of edges in a connected $n$-vertex graph where every edge is contained in a triangle. Shortly after, Catlin, Grossman, Hobbs, and Lai resolved this in a stronger form. In…

We report the closed-form expression for Hill's surfaces in the circular restricted three-body problem. The solution $\phi(r,\theta)$, derived in the primary-centric spherical coordinate system, is deduced from a cubic equation delivering…

Two vertex-labelled polygons are \emph{compatible} if they have the same clockwise cyclic ordering of vertices. The definition extends to polygonal regions (polygons with holes) and to triangulations---for every face, the clockwise cyclic…

We classify the special families of dihedral folding tilings of the sphere derived from the M\"obius triangle $(2,3,4)$. Our study emerges from the study of isometric foldings in the Riemann sphere and meets at the juncture of the triangle…

The study of tilings is a major problem in many mathematical instances, which is studied in two main different approaches: when considering the existence (or obstructions to the existence) of a tiling with a given tile and the other…

By means of constructing a new edge-bending algorithm, we prove that every locally polyhedral tiling of $\mathbb{R}^3$ can be completely softened. A weaker form of this statement, for polyhedral space tilings, was conjectured by Domokos,…
