Aztec Diamond Theorem

Combinatorics and Graph Theory

The Aztec diamond theorem is a result in combinatorial mathematics about tilings of the Aztec diamond, a diamond-shaped region of a square lattice of order n. It states that the number of domino tilings of the Aztec diamond of order n equals 2 raised to the power n(n+1)/2, and a companion result, the Arctic Circle theorem, shows that random tilings of large Aztec diamonds develop a frozen region outside a circular boundary.
