Our generating function involves two statistics: the rank of the tiling and half number of vertical dominoes as in the Aztec diamond theorem by Elkies, Kuperberg, Larsen and Propp. In addition, our work deduces a combinatorial explanation for an interesting connection between the number of lozenge tilings of a semihexagon and the number of domino tilings of an Aztec rectangle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v5", "updated": "2014-03-17T20:30:46.000Z", "title": "Weighted Aztec diamond graphs revisited", "abstract": "Kamioka (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2014) considered a certain weighted Aztec diamond graph when presenting a new proof for Aztec diamond theorem by Elkies, Kuperberg, Larsen and Propp. In this paper, we generalize Kamioka's result by investigating several new weighted Aztec diamond graphs. We also prove a generalization for a result due to Mills, Robbins, Rumsey on holey Aztec rectangle. The result implies a weighted version of MacMahon's theorem on rhombus tilings. In addition, we prove simple product formulas for the numbers of perfect matching of new families of weighted graphs.", "comment": "44 pages", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v6", "updated": "2015-04-01T16:00:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05E99", "05B45" ], "keywords": [ "weighted aztec diamond graphs", "simple product formulas", "aztec diamond theorem", "holey aztec rectangle", "generalize kamiokas result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1402.0825L" } } }
