The problem of tiling rectangles by polyominoes generated large interest. A related one is the problem of tiling parallelograms by twisted polyominoes. Both problems are related with tilings of (skewed) quadrants by p...
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 Gröbner basis, is tha...
Let Tn be the set of ribbon L-shaped n-ominoes for some n≥4 even, and let T+n be Tn with an extra 2 x 2 square. We investigate signed tilings of rectangles by Tn...
Let and let be the set of four ribbon L-shaped n-ominoes. We study tiling problems for regions in a square lattice by . Our main result shows a remarkable property of this set of tiles: any tiling of the first quadran...
