Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

When it comes to hard problems, computer scientists seem to be stuck. Consider, for example, the notorious problem of finding the shortest round-trip route that passes through every city on a map ...

A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...
