Arctic curves of the 6V model with partial DWBC and double Aztec rectangles

Enumeration of Tilings of Quartered Aztec Rectangles

We generalize a theorem of W. Jockusch and J. Propp on quartered Aztec diamonds by enumerating the tilings of quartered Aztec rectangles. We use subgraph replacement method to transform the dual graph of a quartered Aztec rectangle to the dual graph of a quartered lozenge hexagon, and then use Lindström-GesselViennot methodology to find the number of tilings of a quartered lozenge hexagon.

Perfect Matchings of Trimmed Aztec Rectangles

We consider several new families of subgraphs of the square grid whose matchings are enumerated by powers of several small prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, and 11. Our graphs are obtained by trimming two opposite corners of an Aztec rectangle. The result yields a proof of a conjecture posed by Ciucu. In addition, we reveal a hidden connection between our graphs and the hexagonal dungeons introduced by B...

the evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology

abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...

On Domino Tilings of Rectangles Aztec Diamonds in the Rough

Alternating sign matrices and tilings of Aztec rectangles

The problem of counting numbers of tilings of certain regions has long interested researchers in a variety of disciplines. In recent years, many beautiful results have been obtained related to the enumeration of tilings of particular regions called Aztec diamonds. Problems currently under investigation include counting the tilings of related regions with holes and describing the behavior of ran...
