+ * The Tiling Problem involves filling a 2^n x 2^n board with a single missing
+ * square using L-shaped tiles (each tile covers exactly three squares).
+ * The algorithm recursively divides the board into four quadrants, places an
+ * L-shaped tile in the appropriate quadrant, and fills the remaining areas.
+ *
+ * <p>Applications:
+ * - Used in graphics and image processing.
+ * - Helpful in solving puzzles and tiling problems in competitive programming.
