Suppose a set of prototiles allows $N$ different substitution rules. In this paper we study tilings of $\mathbb{R}^d$ constructed from random application of the substitution rules. The space of all possible tilings obtained from all…

A novel principle is presented which allows for the proof of bounded weak solutions to a class of physically relevant, strongly coupled parabolic systems exhibiting a formal gradient-flow structure. The main feature of these systems is that…

We consider the triangular lattice ice model (20-Vertex model) with four types of domain-wall type boundary conditions. In types 1 and 2, the configurations are shown to be equinumerous to the quarter-turn symmetric domino tilings of an…

We propose a formalization for dissipative fluids with interfaces in an inhomogeneous temperature field from the viewpoint of a variational principle. Generally, the Lagrangian of a fluid is given by the kinetic energy density minus the…

Three-dimensional icosahedral random tilings with rhombohedral cells are studied in the semi-entropic model. We introduce a global energy measure defined by the variance of the quasilattice points in the orthogonal space. The internal…

The famous domino shuffling algorithm was invented to generate the domino tilings of the Aztec Diamond. Using the domino height function, we view the domino shuffling procedure as a discrete-time random height process on the plane. The…

The maximum principle forms an important qualitative property of second order elliptic equations, therefore its discrete analogues, the so-called discrete maximum principles (DMPs) have drawn much attention. In this paper DMPs are…

Recently, we introduced a solution to the quantum marginal problem relevant to two-dimensional quantum many-body systems [I. H. Kim, Phys. Rev. X, 11, 021039]. One of the conditions was that the marginals are internally translationally…

This paper derives some discrete maximum principles for $P1$-conforming finite element approximations for quasi-linear second order elliptic equations. The results are extensions of the classical maximum principles in the theory of partial…

Tilings are around us everywhere, and our curiosity draws us to study their properties. A tiling is a way of arranging pieces on a board, such that there is no space left uncovered, nor any space covered by more than one tile. In…

We introduce local topological entropy $h_{\text{top}}(T, \mathcal{U})$ and two kinds of local measure-theoretic entropy $h_{\mu}^{(r)-}(T,\mathcal{U})$ and $h_{\mu}^{(r)+}(T,\mathcal{U})$ for random bundle transformations. We derive a…

We study decision problems on geometric tilings. First, we study a variant of the Domino problem where square tiles are replaced by geometric tiles of arbitrary shape. We show that this variant is undecidable regardless of the shapes,…

We prove a variational principle for the metric mean dimension analog to the one in [LT]. Instead of using the rate distortion function we use the function $h_\mu(\epsilon,T,\delta)$ that is closely related to the entropy $h_\mu(T)$ of…

We calculate the generating functions for the number of tilings of rectangles of various widths by the right tromino, the $L$ tetromino, and the $T$ tetromino. This allows us to place lower bounds on the entropy of tilings of the plane by…

We study a random resistors network model on a euclidean geometry $\bt{Z}^d$. We formulate the model in terms of a variational principle and show that, under appropriate boundary conditions, the thermodynamic limit of the dissipation per…

The number of domino tilings of a region with reflective symmetry across a line is combinatorially shown to depend on the number of domino tilings of particular subregions, modulo 4. This expands upon previous congruency results for domino…

In the present paper, we introduce a natural extension of AKM-topological entropy for noncompact spaces and prove a variational principle which states that the topological entropy, the supremum of the measure theoretical entropies and the…

TThe prototypical problem we study here is the following. Given a $2L\times 2L$ square, there are approximately $\exp(4KL^2/\pi )$ ways to tile it with dominos, i.e. with horizontal or vertical $2\times 1$ rectangles, where $K\approx 0.916$…

By reformulating Wang tiles with tensors, we propose a natural generalization to the probabilistic and quantum setting. In this new framework, we introduce notions of tilings and periodicity directly extending their classical counterparts.…

Random domino tilings of the Aztec diamond shape exhibit interesting features and some of the statistical properties seen in random matrix theory. As a statistical mechanical model it can be thought of as a dimer model or as a certain…
