In this paper, we introduce a certain slight-rotating operation for cross-sections of pentahedra. Based on a selected initial cross-section and by applying the slight-rotating operation suitably, we prove that a convex polyhedron is a universal tiler if and only if it is a tetrahedron or a triangular prism.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-10-08T09:42:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B45", "52C20" ], "keywords": [ "universal tiler", "convex polyhedron", "slight-rotating operation", "cross-section tiles", "determining" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1110.1715W" } } }
