BP532 Self-tiling fractal using one size of tile vs. does not tile itself with a single size of itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

This is BP344 ("rep-tiles") but for fractals.

See BP1119 for the version with multiple different sizes of tile allowed.

BP1119 Tiled by finitely many smaller copies of itself (different sizes allowed) vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

These are sometimes called "irreptiles".

CROSSREFS

See BP532 for the version with only one size of tile allowed.

BP344 Shape can tile itself vs. shape cannot tile itself.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples are sometimes called "rep-tiles."


The tiles all must be the same size. More specifically, all left examples can tile themselves only using scaled down and rotated versions of themselves with all tiles the same size. Right examples cannot tile themselves using scaled down rotated versions of themselves or even reflected versions of themselves with all tiles the same size.


Without the puzzle piece-like shape EX4120 on the right side the current examples also allow the solution "shape can tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram vs. shape cannot tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram."

CROSSREFS

See BP532 for a version with fractals.
