Event details
A tiling is a set of figures that cover the plane without gaps or overlaps. M.C. Escher is a Dutch graphic artist who made a variety of artistic tilings. We want to design Escher-like tilings automatically by computers. For a given figure, which is not a tile, we consider a problem to find a new figure that is similar to the original and can tile the plane. In this talk, we present our algorithms based on the eigenvalue problem and local search techniques, and our artistic tilings will be exhibited.
