Knecht considers the enumeration of coronas. This is a counting problem for two specific types of lozenge tilings. Their exact closed formulas are conjectured in [A380346] and [A380416] on the OEIS. We prove this conjecture by using the…
Many problems in computational geometry are not stated in graph-theoretic terms, but can be solved efficiently by constructing an auxiliary graph and performing a graph-theoretic algorithm on it. Often, the efficiency of the algorithm…
The diffraction of stochastic point sets, both Bernoulli and Markov, and of random tilings with crystallographic symmetries is investigated in rigorous terms. In particular, we derive the diffraction spectrum of 1D random tilings, of…
We consider a generating function of the domino tilings of an Aztec rectangle with several boundary unit squares removed. Our generating function involves two statistics: the rank of the tiling and half number of vertical dominoes as in the…
A semi-regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane is a tessellation by regular geodesic polygons with the property that each vertex has the same vertex-type, which is a cyclic tuple of integers that determine the number of sides of the polygons…
Tiling models are classical statistical models in which different geometric shapes, the tiles, are packed together such that they cover space completely. In this paper we discuss a class of two-dimensional tiling models in which the tiles…
When $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is represented as a finite disjoint union of translated integer sublattices, the translated sublattices must possess some special properties. Such a representation is called a \emph{lattice tiling}. We develop a…
We introduce a class of graphs called compound graphs, generalizing rectangles, which are constructed out of copies of a planar bipartite base graph. The main result is that the number of perfect matchings of every compound graph is…
We provide a complete description of the edge-to-edge tilings with a regular triangle and a shield-shaped hexagon with no right angle. The case of a hexagon with a right angle is also briefly discussed.
This article introduces spotlight tiling, a type of covering which is similar to tiling. The distinguishing aspects of spotlight tiling are that the "tiles" have elastic size, and that the order of placement is significant. Spotlight…
Let $T$ be a tile in $\mathbb{Z}^n$, meaning a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^n$. It may or may not tile $\mathbb{Z}^n$, in the sense of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ having a partition into copies of $T$. However, we prove that $T$ does tile $\mathbb{Z}^d$…
We show that a rectangle can be signed tiled by ribbon L n-ominoes, n odd, if and only if it has a side divisible by n. A consequence of our technique, based on the exhibition of an explicit Groebner basis, is that any k-inflated copy of…
We provide a proof of the Alpern multi-tower theorem for Z^d actions. We reformulate the theorem as a problem of measurably tiling orbits of a Z^d action by a collection of rectangles whose corresponding sides have no non-trivial common…
An N -tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T, overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the "tile'". The tile may or may not be similar to ABC . This paper is the…
We consider tilings of deficient rectangles by the set $\mathcal{T}_4$ of ribbon $L$-tetrominoes. A tiling exists iff the rectangle is a square of odd side. The missing cell is on the main NW--SE diagonal, in an odd position if the square…
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…
There are exactly eight edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent equilateral pentagons: three pentagonal subdivision tilings with 12, 24, 60 tiles; four earth map tilings with 16, 20, 24, 24 tiles; and one flip modification of the…
We study tilings of the plane composed of two repeating tiles of different assigned areas relative to an arbitrary periodic lattice. We classify isoperimetric configurations (i.e., configurations with minimal length of the interfaces) both…
In a recent paper, Byun presented nice formulas for the enumeration of lozenge tilings of certain hexagonal regions with intrusions. This paper attempts to generalise some of Byun's investigations.
It is shown that if n<7, then each tiling of R^n by translates of the unit cube [0,1)^n contains a column; that is, a family of the form {[0,1)^n+(s+ke_i): k \in Z}, where s \in R^n, e_i is an element of the standard basis of R^n and Z is…
