23 July 2001:
Flat stacks, Joining-Closure and Genericity (pdf).
This shows that for the generic transformation, the set of off-diagonal
joinings is dense in the simplex of all joinings. Thus it generalizes the
conclusion of the Weak-closure theorem, by weakening the hypothesis from
rank-1 to simply a residual subset of the flat stacks
maps.

deBruijn's
Harmonic Brick Condition is computable
(pdf, 6 pages),
will appear in the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics.
The article has two figures. Figure E4 is also available separately
as a
jpeg file.
The article shows the following: Given N integer-sided bricks, each of
dimension D (the protobricks), when is it the case that each box
which is packable by translates of copies of protobricks, in fact can be
"parallel packed" by copies of a single protobrick?
Protobricks for which the answer is yes
I call a deBruijn brick-set.
My article gives an algorithm to detect when a brick-set
is deBruijn. The algorithm runs in time big O
of DN3.
The article ends with two open questions.
Articles 04 and 05 are not yet available electronically, but I do have
paper reprints of them. Please

if you would like copies.

Continuing from Shape Tiling,
Kevin and I again look at rectangular tilings in
Signed Tilings with Squares
(8 pages),
this time using a tensor product to studying tilings of
weighted rectangular regions, W, in the plane. We
obtain an if-and-only-if condition for whether W
can be Z-tiling by rectangles of specified eccentricities.

Proceedings from the First International Conference

for proving the Polynomial Conjecture of …Monotone Boolean Functions
(on Tilings Page),
and describes the transition from the Geometry to the Lattice Theory in a
series of steps. The technical proofs of these steps will appear elsewhere.
The XXX Math Archives has a
version
which is available in PS, PDF, DVI and other formats.

14 Feb 2000:
In memory of Anzelm Iwanik there was a special volume of
Colloquium Mathematicum. My article for this memorial volume,
The generic transformation has roots of all orders
,
(pdf)
has recently appeared.
The article shows, under the usual course topology on the space of
measure-preserving transformations, that there is a residual
(Baire category fat)
collection of transformations which have a square-root, a cube-root etc.
The above PDF version is an expanded version of the published article,
having an open-question section at the end. However, it is missing
the bibliography of the published article.
