Abstract
We say that a function (Formula Presented) tiles at level w by a discrete translation set ⋀⊂R, if we have (Formula Presented) In this paper we survey the main results, and prove several new ones, on the structure of tilings of R by translates of a function. The phenomena discussed include tilings of bounded and of unbounded density, uniform distribution of the translates, periodic and non-periodic tilings, and tilings at level zero. Fourier analysis plays an important role in the proofs. Some open problems are also given.
