POLYOMINO_MULTIHEDRAL
Seek Solutions of Polyomino Multihedral Tiling

POLYOMINO_MULTIHEDRAL, a MATLAB library which is given matrices defining a region R and a set of polyominoes P; it sets up the corresponding linear system, and solves for binary solutions x that represent possible tilings of the region R by the polyominoes of P.

A region R is a subset of an MRxNR grid of squares.

The k-th polyomino P(k) is a subset of an MRxNR grid of squares.

Both objects are represented by an MRxNR binary matrices.
