  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. ( 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. Toynbee tiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toynbee_tiles

    These tiles were glued with a thicker layer of asphalt glue or sealant than older ones. [citation needed] Usage Deployment. Toynbee-tile enthusiast Justin Duerr claims to have once found and examined a newly installed tile. This new tile was wrapped in tar paper and placed on a busy street early in the morning. From this find and other evidence ...

  5. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    A Penrose tiling is an example of an aperiodic tiling. Here, a tiling is a covering of the plane by non-overlapping polygons or other shapes, and a tiling is aperiodic if it does not contain arbitrarily large periodic regions or patches. However, despite their lack of translational symmetry, Penrose tilings may have both reflection symmetry and ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. List of aperiodic sets of tiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_aperiodic_sets_of_tiles

    Dual to Ammann A2. Tilings MLD from the tilings by the Shield tiles. Tilings MLD from the tilings by the Socolar tiles. Tiling is MLD to Penrose P1, P2, P3, and Robinson triangles. Tiling is MLD to Penrose P1, P2, P3, and "Starfish, ivy leaf, hex". Date is for publication of matching rules.

  8. Socolar–Taylor tile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socolar–Taylor_tile

    Socolar–Taylor tile. The Socolar–Taylor tile is a single non-connected tile which is aperiodic on the Euclidean plane, meaning that it admits only non-periodic tilings of the plane (due to the Sierpinski's triangle -like tiling that occurs), with rotations and reflections of the tile allowed. [1] It is the first known example of a single ...

  9. Domino tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_tiling

    Domino tiling. In geometry, a domino tiling of a region in the Euclidean plane is a tessellation of the region by dominoes, shapes formed by the union of two unit squares meeting edge-to-edge. Equivalently, it is a perfect matching in the grid graph formed by placing a vertex at the center of each square of the region and connecting two ...
