Tilings by 1×1 and 2×2
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 50 (2016) no. 1, pp. 105-116.

We consider tilings of a k×n board by 1×1 and 2×2 squares and get combinatorical results on proportions of small squares for k10 in plain case and for k8 in cylindrical case.
