Polyomino Convolutions and Tiling Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
We define a convolution operation on the set of polyominoes and use it to obtain a criterion for a given polyomino not to tile the plane (rotations and translations allowed). We apply the criterion to several families of polyominoes, and show that the criterion detects some cases that are not detectable by generalized coloring arguments.

A Quasilinear-Time Algorithm for Tiling the Plane Isohedrally with a Polyomino
A plane tiling consisting of congruent copies of a shape is isohedral provided that for any pair of copies, there exists a symmetry of the tiling mapping one copy to the other. We give a O(n log2 n)-time algorithm for deciding if a polyomino with n edges can tile the plane isohedrally. This improves on the O(n18)-time algorithm of Keating and Vince and generalizes recent work by Brlek, Provença...
متن کاملTackling Area Coverage Problems in a Reconfigurable Floor Cleaning Robot Based on Polyomino Tiling Theory
Whilst Polyomino tiling theory has been extensively studied as a branch of research in mathematics, its application has been largely confined to multimedia, graphics and gaming domains. In this paper, we present a novel application of Tromino tiling theory, a class of Polyomino with three cells in the context of a reconfigurable floor cleaning robot, hTromo. The developed robot platform is able...
متن کاملOptimal Partial Tiling of Manhattan Polyominoes
Finding an efficient optimal partial tiling algorithm is still an open problem. We have worked on a special case, the tiling of Manhattan polyominoes with dominoes, for which we give an algorithm linear in the number of columns. Some techniques are borrowed from traditional graph optimisation problems. For our purpose, a polyomino is the (non necessarily connected) union of unit squares (for wh...
متن کاملRigid Tilings of Quadrants by L-Shaped n-ominoes and Notched Rectangles
In this paper, we examine rigid tilings of the four quadrants in a Cartesian coordinate system by tiling sets consisting of L-shaped polyominoes and notched rectangles. The first tiling sets we consider consist of an L-shaped polyomino and a notched rectangle, appearing from the dissection of an n×n square, and of their symmetries about the first diagonal. In this case, a tiling of a quadrant i...
متن کاملAn Optimal Algorithm for Tiling the Plane with a Translated Polyomino
We give aO(n)-time algorithm for determining whether translations of a polyomino with n edges can tile the plane. The algorithm is also a O(n)-time algorithm for enumerating all regular tilings, and we prove that at most Θ(n) such tilings exist.
