Folding and tiling

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We exhibit a relation between folds and a tile of the plane. More precisely, given a finite word coding vertical and horizontal folds we give a necessary and sufficient condition in order to tile the plane with a set of tiles constructed with copies of the unfold surface.
