Abstract

We use the subgraph replacement method to investigate new properties of the\ntilings of regions on the square lattice with diagonals drawn in. In\nparticular, we show that the centrally symmetric tilings of a generalization of\nthe Aztec diamond are always enumerated by a simple product formula. This\nresult generalizes the previous work of Ciucu (1997) and Yang (1992) about\nsymmetric tilings of the Aztec diamond. We also use our method to prove a\nclosed-form product formula for the number of centrally symmetric tilings of a\nquasi-hexagon.\n
