چکیده

We show that the hypercube has a face-unfolding that tiles space, and that unfolding has an edge-unfolding that tiles the plane. So the hypercube is a “dimension-descending tiler.” We also show that the hypercube cross unfolding made famous by Dali tiles space, but we leave open the question of whether or not it has an edge-unfolding that tiles the plane.

Polycube Unfoldings Satisfying Conway’s Criterion

We prove that some classes of polycubes admit vertex and edge unfoldings that tile the plane. Surprisingly, every such polycube found has an unfolding satisfying Conway’s criterion and it remains open whether all polycubes have edge unfoldings satisfying Conway’s criterion.

Bifurcations of Wavefronts on an r-corner

We introduce the notion of reticular Legendrian unfoldings in order to investigate stabilities of bifurcations of wavefronts generated by a hypersurface germ with a boundary, a corner, or an r-corner in a smooth n dimensional manifold. We define several stabilities of reticular Legendrian unfoldings and prove that they and the stabilities of corresponding generating families are all equivalent ...

Cunf: A Tool for Unfolding and Verifying Petri Nets with Read Arcs

Cunf is a tool for building and analyzing unfoldings of Petri nets with read arcs. An unfolding represents the behaviour of a net by a partial order, effectively coping with the state-explosion problem stemming from the interleaving of concurrent actions. C-net unfoldings can be up to exponentially smaller than Petri net unfoldings, and recent work proposed algorithms for their construction and...

Lattice Tilings by Cubes: Whole, Notched and Extended

We discuss some problems of lattice tiling via Harmonic Analysis methods. We consider lattice tilings of R by the unit cube in relation to the Minkowski Conjecture (now a theorem of Hajós) and give a new equivalent form of Hajós’s theorem. We also consider “notched cubes” (a cube from which a reactangle has been removed from one of the corners) and show that they admit lattice tilings. This has...

Determining simplicity and computing topological change in strongly normal partial tilings of R2 or R3

A convex polygon in R 2 , or a convex polyhedron in R 3 , will be called a tile. A connected set P of tiles is called a partial tiling if the intersection of any two of the tiles is either empty, or is a vertex or edge (in R 3 : or face) of both. P is called strongly normal (SN) if, for any partial tiling P 0 P and any tile P 2 P 0 , the neighborhood N(P; P) of P (the union of the tiles of P 0 ...
