We consider self-affine tilings in $\R^n$ with expansion matrix $\phi$ and address the question which matrices $\phi$ can arise this way. In one dimension, $\lambda$ is an expansion factor of a self-affine tiling if and only if $|\lambda|$…

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…

This paper concerns self-similar tilings in dimension 2. We consider the number of occurrences of a given tile in any domain bounded by a Jordan curve. For a large class of self-similar tilings, including most known examples, we give…

In contrast to many known results concerning periodic tilings of the Euclidean plane with pentagons, here tilings with rotational symmetry are investigated. A certain class of convex pentagons is introduced. It can be shown that for any…

A method is described for constructing, with computer assistance, planar substitution tilings that have n-fold rotational symmetry. This method uses as prototiles the set of rhombs with angles that are integer multiples of pi/n, and…

We show that a strongly $\lambda$-spirallike function of order $\alpha$ can be extended to a $\sin(\pi\alpha/2)$-quasiconformal automorphism of the complex plane for $-\pi/2<\lambda<\pi/2$ and $0<\alpha<1$ with $|\lambda|<\pi\alpha/2.$ In…

We present a substitution rule for a rhomb tiling with 10-fold rotational symmetry. The tiling is closely related to the Penrose rhomb tilings and can be obtained from the pentagrid construction. We introduce a finite set of marked…

In this paper we prove that if two self-similar tiling systems, with respective stretching factors $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, have a common factor which is a non periodic tiling system, then $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are…

We study the problem of perfect tiling in the plane and exploring the possibility of tiling a rectangle using integral distinct squares. Assume a set of distinguishable squares (or equivalently a set of distinct natural numbers) is given,…

We establish a structure theorem for the family of Ammann A2 tilings of the plane. Using that theorem we show that every Ammann A2 tiling is self-similar in the sense of [B. Solomyak, Nonperiodicity implies unique composition for…

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,…

We give another proof for the (-1)-enumeration of self-complementary plane partitions with at least one odd side-length by specializing a certain Schur function identity. The proof is analogous to Stanley's proof for the ordinary…

We consider a subclass of tilings, the tilings obtained by cut and projection. Under somewhat standard assumptions, we show that the natural complexity function has polynomial growth. We compute its exponent \alpha in terms of the ranks of…

An iterated function system $\Phi$ consisting of contractive similarity mappings has a unique attractor $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ which is invariant under the action of the system, as was shown by Hutchinson [Hut]. This paper shows how the…

A group-theoretical approach to the construction of quasiperiodic tilings of a Euclidean plane, possessing five-fold symmetry, is applied. Of the infinitely many of variants of quasiperiodic partitions of the plane, possessing the dihedral…

We study self-similar attractors in the space $\mathbb{R}^d$, i.e., self-similar compact sets defined by several affine operators with the same linear part. The special case of attractors when the matrix $M$ of the linear part of affine…

We show that the well known two-dimensional Penrose tiling admits an infinite number of independent scaling factors and an infinite number of inflation centers.

Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…
