Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce a new concept of rep-cube and its known results. It is a fledgling concept born in 2016, so there are many topics to be studied.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Note that “rep-tile” is the word play of “reptile”.

  2. 2.

    In fact, Solomon W. Golomn was born in 1932 and passed away in 2016. We gave the name to mourn it. Later, earlier research in the puzzle society was found the same concept as rep-cube. See [Tor92, Tor02, Tor02b, Tor03] for further details.
