The recently discovered "hat" aperiodic monotile mixes unreflected and reflected tiles in every tiling it admits, leaving open the question of whether a single shape can tile aperiodically using translations and rotations alone. We show…
An algorithm is provided to tile the plane with the aperiodic monotile Tile(1,1) recently discovered by Smith et al. (2023). Their geometric construction guidelines are expanded into a numerical MATLAB algorithm. The intention is to remove…
In 2023, two striking, nearly simultaneous, mathematical discoveries have excited their respective communities, one by Greenfeld and Tao, the other (the Hat tile) by Smith, Myers, Kaplan and Goodman-Strauss, which can both be summed up as…
The Smith Hat tile is the first known aperiodic monotile, having been discovered in 2023. The simple structure, constructed using only 8 kites, is unique and well motivated for analysis within percolation theory. The primary goal of this…
A longstanding open problem asks for an aperiodic monotile, also known as an "einstein": a shape that admits tilings of the plane, but never periodic tilings. We answer this problem for topological disk tiles by exhibiting a continuum of…
This article, written for undergraduate mathematics students, provides an accessible introduction to a few key problems in tiling theory: Heesch's problem, the isohedral number problem, and the existence of an aperiodic monotile. I…
We introduce a new type of aperiodic hexagonal monotile; a prototile that admits infinitely many tilings of the plane, but any such tiling lacks any translational symmetry. Adding a copy of our monotile to a patch of tiles must satisfy two…
We show that a single prototile can fill space uniformly but not admit a periodic tiling. A two-dimensional, hexagonal prototile with markings that enforce local matching rules is proven to be aperiodic by two independent methods. The…
A new method for constructing aperiodic tilings is presented. The method is illustrated by constructing a particular tiling and its hull. The properties of this tiling and the hull are studied. In particular it is shown that these tilings…
We present aperiodic sets of prototiles whose shapes are based on the well-known Penrose rhomb tiling. Some decorated prototiles lead to an exact Penrose rhomb tiling without any matching rules. We also give an approximate solution to an…
This study introduces a novel approach to composite design by employing aperiodic monotiles, shapes that cover surfaces without translational symmetry. Using a combined computational and experimental approach, we study the fracture behavior…
These notes derive aperiodic monotiles (arXiv:2303.10798) from a set of rhombuses with matching rules. This dual construction is used to simplify the proof of aperiodicity by considering the tiling as a colouring game on a Rhombille tiling.…
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…
Can the entire plane be paved with a single tile that forces aperiodicity? This is known as the ein Stein problem (in German, ein Stein means one tile). This paper presents an aperiodic monotile for the tiler. It is based on the monotile…
We present here an elementary construction of an aperiodic tile set. Although there already exist dozens of examples of aperiodic tile sets we believe this construction introduces an approach that is different enough to be interesting and…
We explore the macroscopic elastic behavior of the aperiodic but hyperuniform (single tile) tiling.
Aperiodic systems such as quasiperiodic systems exhibit unique properties different from periodic structures. In 2023, Smith et al. discovered a new aperiodic structure: a single-shaped tile that can only tile space aperiodically, known as…
A brief history of planar aperiodic tile sets is presented, starting from the Domino Problem proposed by Hao Wang in 1961. We provide highlights that led to the discovery of the Taylor--Socolar aperiodic monotile in 2010 and the Hat and…
This paper describes the celebrated aperiodic hat tiling by Smith et al. [Comb. Theory 8 (2024), 6] as generated by an overlapping iterated function system. We briefly introduce and study infinite sequences of iterated function systems that…
Aperiodic tiling --- a form of complex global geometric structure arising through locally checkable, constant-time matching rules --- has long been closely tied to a wide range of physical, information-theoretic, and foundational…
