Tilings of (2 × 2 × "n")-Board with Coloured Cubes and Bricks
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v51 n5 p786-798 2020
Several articles deal with tilings with squares and dominoes on 2-dimensional boards, but only a few on boards in 3-dimensional space. We examine a tiling problem with coloured cubes and bricks on a (2 × 2 × "n")-board in three dimensions. After a short introduction and the definition of breakability we show a way to get the number of the tilings of an "n"-long board considering the ("n"- 1)-long board. It describes recursively the number of possible breakable and unbreakable tilings. Finally, we give some identities for the recursions using breakability.
