  2. Einstein problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_problem

    Aperiodic tiling with "Tile(1,1)". The tiles are colored according to their rotational orientation modulo 60 degrees. [1] ( Smith, Myers, Kaplan, and Goodman-Strauss) In plane geometry, the einstein problem asks about the existence of a single prototile that by itself forms an aperiodic set of prototiles; that is, a shape that can tessellate space but only in a nonperiodic way.

  3. Aperiodic tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperiodic_tiling

    An aperiodic tiling using a single shape and its reflection, discovered by David Smith. An aperiodic tiling is a non-periodic tiling with the additional property that it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. A set of tile-types (or prototiles) is aperiodic if copies of these tiles can form only non- periodic tilings.

  4. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    Concretely, if A S has side lengths (1, 1, φ), then A L has side lengths (φ, φ, 1). B-tiles can be related to such A-tiles in two ways: If B S has the same size as A L then B L is an enlarged version φ A S of A S, with side lengths (φ, φ, φ 2 = 1 + φ) – this decomposes into an A L tile and A S tile joined along a common side of length 1.

  5. Pentagonal tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_tiling

    There are also 2-isohedral tilings by special cases of type 1, type 2, and type 4 tiles, and 3-isohedral tilings, all edge-to-edge, by special cases of type 1 tiles. There is no upper bound on k for k-isohedral tilings by certain tiles that are both type 1 and type 2, and hence neither on the number of tiles in a primitive unit.

  6. Tessellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation

    Tessellation in two dimensions, also called planar tiling, is a topic in geometry that studies how shapes, known as tiles, can be arranged to fill a plane without any gaps, according to a given set of rules. These rules can be varied. Common ones are that there must be no gaps between tiles, and that no corner of one tile can lie along the edge ...

  7. Substitution tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_tiling

    In geometry, a tile substitution is a method for constructing highly ordered tilings. Most importantly, some tile substitutions generate aperiodic tilings, which are tilings whose prototiles do not admit any tiling with translational symmetry. The most famous of these are the Penrose tilings. Substitution tilings are special cases of finite ...

  8. Wang tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_tile

    Wang tiles (or Wang dominoes ), first proposed by mathematician, logician, and philosopher Hao Wang in 1961, are a class of formal systems. They are modelled visually by square tiles with a color on each side. A set of such tiles is selected, and copies of the tiles are arranged side by side with matching colors, without rotating or reflecting ...

  9. Algebra tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra_tile

    An example of multiplying binomials is (2x+1)×(x+2) and the first step the student would take is set up two positive x tiles and one positive unit tile to represent the length of a rectangle and then one would take one positive x tile and two positive unit tiles to represent the width. These two lines of tiles would create a space that looks ...
