Tiling annular regions with skew and T-tetrominoes

Vol. 10 (2017), No. 3, 505–521
Abstract

In this paper, we study tilings of annular regions in the integer lattice by skew and T-tetrominoes. We demonstrate the tileability of most annular regions by the given tile set, enumerate the tilings of width-2 annuli, and determine the tile counting group associated to this tile set and the family of all width-2 annuli.
