Sufficient conditions for periodic tiling by Wang tiles

I'm recently interested in whether a sub-shift of finite type contains a doubly-periodic problem, when the set of configurations is of the sort $\mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}^2}$. When $Q_2=\{0,1\}^2$, and ...

Decidability of (restricted) periodicity of Wang tilings

Consider a Wang tiling (given a subset of $C^4$ for a finite set $C$ of colours, e.g.). It's well-known to be undecidable whether there exists a tiling, and also whether there exists a periodic tiling....

Overlaying two domino-like constructions such that all individual pairs of domino-like cells in the overlay have matching symbols

Imagine I have two $n$ x $m$ assemblies of $P = (n*m)$ unit square cells on the plane, $(c_{(a,1)}, ..., c_{(a,P)}) \in A$ and $(c_{(b,1)}, ..., c_{(b,P)}) \in B$, where every cell, $c_k$, in a ...
