We regard a smooth, $d=2$-dimensional manifold $\mathcal{M}$ and its normal tiling $M$, the cells of which may have non-smooth or smooth vertices (at the latter, two edges meet at 180 degrees.) We denote the average number (per cell) of…
In a region R consisting of unit squares, a (domino) tiling is a collection of dominoes (the union of two adjacent squares) which pave fully the region. The flip graph of R is defined on the set of all tilings of R where two tilings are…
We study periodic tessellations of the Euclidean space with unequal cells arising from the minimization of perimeter functionals. Existence results and qualitative properties of minimizers are discussed for different classes of problems,…
We study whether an asymmetric limited-magnitude ball may tile $\mathbb{Z}^n$. This ball generalizes previously studied shapes: crosses, semi-crosses, and quasi-crosses. Such tilings act as perfect error-correcting codes in a channel which…
We obtain structural results on translational tilings of periodic functions in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by finite tiles. In particular, we show that any level one tiling of a periodic set in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ must be weakly periodic (the disjoint union…
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…
Invariant torus are constructed under assumption that the homogeneous system admits an exponential dichotomy on the semi-axes. The main result is closely related with the well-known Palmer's lemma and results of Boichuk A.A., Samoilenko…
The row (column) completion problem of polynomial matrices of given degree with prescribed eigenstructure has been studied in \cite{AmBaMaRo23}, where several results of prescription of some of the four types of invariants that form the…
The problem of minimizing a multilinear function of binary variables is a well-studied NP-hard problem. The set of solutions of the standard linearization of this problem is called the multilinear set. We study a cardinality constrained…
As "2D" materials (i.e. materials just a few atoms thick) continue to gain prominence, understanding their symmetries is critical for unlocking their full potential. In this work, we present comprehensive tables that tabulate the rod group…
A basic assumption of tiling theory is that adjacent tiles can meet in only a finite number of ways, up to rigid motions. However, there are many interesting tiling spaces that do not have this property. They have "fault lines", along which…
We consider the problem of counting and classifying domino tilings of a quadriculated torus. The counting problem for rectangles was studied by Kasteleyn and we use many of his ideas. Domino tilings of planar regions can be represented by…
In this document, we collected the most important complexity results of tilings. We also propose a definition of a so-called deterministic set of tile types, in order to capture deterministic classes without the notion of games. We also…
Crystallographic tilings of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^n$ are defined as simple tilings whose group of isometric automorphisms is crystallographic. To classify crystallographic tilings by their automorphism groups it is necessary to…
Suppose $f\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is a finite union of translated lattices such that $f+\Lambda$ tiles with a weight. We prove that there exists a lattice $L\subset{\mathbb{R}}^d$ such that $f+L$ also tiles,…
Building blocks and tiles are an excellent way of learning about geometry and mathematics in general. There are several versions of tiles that are either snapped together or connected with magnets that can be used to introduce topics like…
A tiling (edge-to-edge) of the plane is a family of tiles that cover the plane without gaps or overlaps. Vertex figure of a vertex in a tiling to be the union of all edges incident to that vertex. A tiling is $k$-vertex-homogeneous if any…
In the abstract Tile Assembly Model, self-assembling systems consisting of tiles of different colors can form structures on which colored patterns are ``painted.'' We explore the complexity, in terms of the numbers of unique tile types…
We study the dissection of a square into congruent convex polygons. Yuan \emph{et al.} [Dissecting the square into five congruent parts, Discrete Math. \textbf{339} (2016) 288-298] asked whether, if the number of tiles is a prime number…
Computations, where the number of results is much smaller than the input data and are produced through some sort of accumulation, are called Reductions. Reductions appear in many scientific applications. Usually, reductions admit an…
