Tiivistelmä

We study perfect multiple coverings in translation invariant graphs with vertex set Z2 using an algebraic approach. In this approach we consider any such covering as a two-dimensional binary configuration which we then express as a two-variate formal power series. Using known results, we conclude that any perfect multiple covering has a non-trivial periodizer, that is, there exists a non-zero polynomial whose formal product with the power series presenting the covering is a two-periodic configuration. If a non-trivial periodizer has line polynomial factors in at most one direction, then the configuration is known to be periodic. Using this result we find many setups where perfect multiple coverings of infinite grids are necessarily periodic. We also consider some algorithmic questions on finding perfect multiple coverings.
