Aperiodic tilings with one prototile and low complexity atlas matching rules
Abstract
We give a constructive method that can decrease the number of prototiles needed to tile a space. We achieve this by exchanging edge to edge matching rules for a small atlas of permitted patches. This method is illustrated with Wang tiles, and we apply our method to present via these rules a single prototile that can only tile R3 aperiodically, and a pair of square tiles that can only tile R2 aperiodically.
