Discrete Mathematics
We first prove that if F has no peak (a peak is a cell of F which has three of its edges in the contour of F), then F can be tiled with rectangular bars formed from 2 or 3 cells. ...
Let F be a simply connected figure formed from a finite set of cells of the planar square lattice. ...

We show how to determine if a given simple rectilinear polygon can be tiled with rectangles, each having an integer side. ...
Suppose we want to tile a simply connected polyomino with rectangles, each of which has a side of length n. ...
In the case of polyominoes, this lattice is just Z, and so the algorithm yields in this case a tiling with bars of length 1 × n and n × 1. ...

Phase Transitions in Random Dyadic Tilings and Rectangular Dissections

We consider a weighted version of these Markov chains where, given a parameter λ > 0, we would like to generate each rectangular dissection (or dyadic tiling) σ with probability proportional to λ |σ| , ...
A similar edge-flipping chain is also known to connect the state space when restricted to dyadic tilings, where each rectangle is required to have the form where s, t, u and v are nonnegative integers. ...
The lengths of the vertical boundary segments of G are integer multiples of h, and G is simply connected as it is the union of a connected region with all of its holes. ...

We show that the least number of cells (the gap number) one needs to take out from a rectangle with integer sides of length at least 2 in order to be tiled by ribbon right trominoes is less than or equal ...

Deciding if a given set of Wang tiles admits a tiling of the plane is decidable if the number of Wang tiles (or the number of colors) is bounded, for a trivial reason, as there are only finitely many such ...
One of the main new tool is the concept of Wang bars, which are equivalently inflated Wang tiles or thin polyominoes. ...
