We count tilings of the $n \times m$ rectangular grid, cylinder, and torus with arbitrary tile sets up to arbitrary symmetries of the square and rectangle, along with cyclic shifting of rows and columns. This provides a unifying framework…
We introduce a family of univariate polynomials indexed by integer partitions. At prime powers, they count the number of subspaces in a finite vector space that transform under a regular diagonal matrix in a specified manner. This…
We study tilings of the plane that combine strong properties of different nature: combinatorial and algorithmic. We prove existence of a tile set that accepts only quasiperiodic and non-recursive tilings. Our construction is based on the…
A unified theory of orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable is presented through the eigenvalue problem of hermitian matrices of finite or infinite dimensions. It can be considered as a matrix version of exactly solvable Schr\"odinger…
In a region $R$ consisting of unit squares, a domino is the union of two adjacent squares and a (domino) tiling is a collection of dominoes with disjoint interior whose union is the region. The flip graph $\mathcal{T}(R)$ is defined on the…
The theory of fractal tilings of fractal blow-ups is extended to graph-directed iterated function systems, resulting in generalizations and extensions of some of the theory of Anderson and Putnam and of Bellisard et al. regarding…
This paper has three aims. First, for $n \geq 1$ we construct a family of real-rooted trigonometric polynomial maps $P : \mathbb C^n \mapsto \mathbb C^n$ whose divisors are Fourier Quasicrystals (FQ). For $n = 1$ these divisors include the…
First we characterize all the polynomial vector fields in $\R^4$ which have the Clifford torus as an invariant surface. After we study the number of invariant meridians and parallels that such polynomial vector fields can have in function…
We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…
We consider the tiling generating functions of semi-hexagons and quartered hexagons with dents on their sides. In general, there are no simple product formulas for these generating functions. However, we show that the modification in the…
We study the number of ways of factoring elements in the complex reflection groups G(r,s,n) as products of reflections. We prove a result that compares factorization numbers in G(r,s,n) to those in the symmetric group on n letters, and we…
We introduce rook-Eulerian polynomials, a generalization of the classical Eulerian polynomials arising from complete rook placements on Ferrers boards, and prove that they are real-rooted. We show that a natural context in which to…
In this paper, we study the characters of two classes of P-polynomial table algebras using tridiagonal matrices. To this end, we obtain some results about the eigen-structure of special tridiagonal matrices. We also find a recursive…
The manuscript studies configurations of non-overlapping non-bonding dominoes on finite rectangular boards of unit squares characterized by row and column number. The non-bonding dominoes are defined here by the requirement that any domino…
Building on work by H.L.Resnikoff we consider (Resnikoff) silver numbers, which generalize the familiar golden number. By definition, a silver number is the largest positive root of a certain polynomial called silver polynomial. In turn, a…
We show several properties related to the structure of the family of classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions. This approach to the study of the family of classes of nonequivalent two dimexsional periodic continued fractions…
Orthogonal polynomials and the Fourier orthogonal series on a cone of revolution in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ are studied. It is shown that orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight function $(1-t)^\gamma (t^2-\|x\|^2)^{\mu-\frac12}$ on…
We study random tiling models in the limit of high rotational symmetry. In this limit a mean-field theory yields reasonable predictions for the configurational entropy of free boundary rhombus tilings in two dimensions. We base our…
The 1-2-3 conjecture has been solved positively in 2024 for finite graphs and by extension for infinite graphs which are locally finite. The solution is non-constructive, and finding explicit solutions for large (or infinite) graphs is very…
We consider orthogonal polynomials on the surface of a double cone or a hyperboloid of revolution, either finite or infinite in axis direction, and on the solid domain bounded by such a surface and, when the surface is finite, by…
