Abstract

Cube tilings formed by $$n$$ -dimensional $$4\mathbb Z ^n$$ -periodic hypercubes with side $$2$$ and integer coordinates are considered here. By representing the problem of finding such cube tilings within the framework of exact cover and using canonical augmentation, pairwise nonisomorphic 5-dimensional cube tilings are exhaustively enumerated in a constructive manner. There are 899,710,227 isomorphism classes of such tilings, and the total number of tilings is 638,560,878,292,512. It is further shown that starting from a 5-dimensional cube tiling and using a sequence of switching operations, it is possible to generate any other cube tiling.
