Tiling by translates of a function: results and open problems
Discrete analysis (2021)
We say that a function $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ tiles at level $w$ by a discrete translation set $Λ\subset \mathbb{R}$, if we have $\sum_{λ\in Λ} f(x-λ)=w$ a.e. In this paper we survey the main results, and prove several new ones, on the structure of tilings of $\mathbb{R}$ by translates of a function. The phenomena discussed include tilings of bounded and of unbounded density, uniform distribution of the translates, periodic and non-periodic tilings, and tilings at level zero. Fourier analysis plays an important role in the proofs. Some open problems are also given.
