Domino Tilings I

I started a new project: studying polyomino tilings and related problems (very much inspired by Golomb’s famous Polyominoes). As part of this study, I waded through many papers, trying to piece together a coherent picture of how these tilings work. How I understand them is written down in this essay:

Polyominoes

  • Tiling Criteria

    • The Marriage Theorem
    • Cylinder Deletion
    • Coloring
  • The Internal Structure of Domino Tilings
    • Cycles
    • Frozen cells
    • Tiling Transformations

Here are some pages from the essay:
