Tiles and Colors

چکیده
Tiling models are classical statistical models in which different geometric shapes, the tiles, are packed together such that they cover space completely. In this paper we discuss a class of two-dimensional tiling models in which the tiles are rectangles and isosceles triangles. Some of these models have been solved recently by means of Bethe Ansatz. We discuss the question why only these models in a larger family are solvable, and we search for the Yang-Baxter structure behind their integrablity. In this quest we find the Bethe Ansatz solution of the problem of coloring the edges of the square lattice in four colors, such that edges of the same color never meet in the same vertex.

Technical study of historical tiles of azure and yellow color Spectrum in mosaic and dual tiles
In Iranian architecture, colors were a powerful tool in design that, by using them correctly in decorations, added to the identity and impact of that space. One of the techniques of architects in decorating the space has been the use of complementary colors to create a proper harmony in the viewer's eyes. In this experimental-analytical study, CIE Lab analysis was used to quantitatively measu...
متن کاملTilings, Compositions, and Generalizations
For n ≥ 1, let an count the number of ways one can tile a 1 × n chessboard using 1× 1 square tiles, which come in w colors, and 1× 2 rectangular tiles, which come in t colors. The results for an generalize the Fibonacci numbers and provide generalizations of many of the properties satisfied by the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. We count the total number of 1× 1 square tiles and 1× 2 rectangular t...
متن کاملWang Tiles for Image and Texture Generation
This paper discusses the use of Wang Tiles for image and texture generation as originally presented in Cohen et al. , 2003. Creating large expanses of nonperiodic texture, point distributions or geometry can be efficiently done at runtime by constructing a tiling of the plane using a small set of Wang tiles. Wang Tiles are squares whose edges are each assigned a color. The method involves filli...
متن کاملAperiodic Sets of Square Tiles with Colored Corners
In this paper we formalize the concept of square tiles with colored corners, a new kind of tiles closely related to Wang tiles. We construct aperiodic sets of square tiles with colored corners and several new aperiodic sets of Wang tiles using isomorphisms between tilings. The smallest aperiodic set of square tiles with colored corners we have created consists of 44 tiles over 6 colors.
متن کاملFixed Parameter Undecidability for Wang Tilesets
Deciding if a given set of Wang tiles admits a tiling of the plane is decidable if the number of Wang tiles (or the number of colors) is bounded, for a trivial reason, as there are only finitely many such tilesets. We prove however that the tiling problem remains undecidable if the difference between the number of tiles and the number of colors is bounded by 43. One of the main new tool is the ...
