Tiling simply connected regions with rectangles
In [BNRR], it was shown that tiling of general regions with two rectangles is NP-complete, except for a few trivial special cases. In a different direction, R\'emila showed that for simply connected regions by two rectangles, the tileability can be solved in quadratic time (in the area). We pro...

Zusammenfassung: | In [BNRR], it was shown that tiling of general regions with two rectangles is
NP-complete, except for a few trivial special cases. In a different direction,
R\'emila showed that for simply connected regions by two rectangles, the
tileability can be solved in quadratic time (in the area). We prove that there
is a finite set of at most 10^6 rectangles for which the tileability problem of
simply connected regions is NP-complete, closing the gap between positive and
negative results in the field. We also prove that counting such rectangular
tilings is #P-complete, a first result of this kind. |
