Anderson and Putnam showed that the cohomology of a substitution tiling space may be computed by collaring tiles to obtain a substitution which "forces its border." One can then represent the tiling space as an inverse limit of an inflation…
The top of the attractor $A$ of a hyperbolic iterated function system $\left\{ f_{i}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n}|i=1,2,\dots,M\right\} $ is defined and used to extend self-similar tilings to overlapping systems. The theory…
We generalize the notion of (geometric) substitution rule to obtain overlapping substitutions. Our motivating example is the substitution presented in Ziherl, Dotera and Bekku \cite{DBZ}, which features a substitution matrix with…
In two papers, Little and Sellers introduced an exciting new combinatorial method for proving partition identities which is not directly bijective. Instead, they consider various sets of weighted tilings of a $1 \times \infty$ board with…
Asymptotic composants and their incidence relations are powerful invariants of 1-dimensional inflation tilings spaces, which can distinguish many MLD classes of tilings. In particular, and unlike most other invariants, they can often…
This work is devoted to the study of the symmetries of (quasi)periodic architectured materials. For this purpose, the weaker symmetry criterion of indistinguishability is used. It relies on a statistical description of the mesostructure and…
We introduce Dehn invariants as a useful tool in the study of the inflation of quasiperiodic space tilings. The tilings by ``golden tetrahedra'' are considered. We discuss how the Dehn invariants can be applied to the study of inflation…
Tilings and point sets arising from substitutions are classical mathematical models of quasicrystals. Their hierarchical structure allows one to obtain concrete answers regarding spectral questions tied to the underlying measures and…
The study of tilings is a major problem in many mathematical instances, which is studied in two main different approaches: when considering the existence (or obstructions to the existence) of a tiling with a given tile and the other…
We present a substitution rule for a rhomb tiling with 10-fold rotational symmetry. The tiling is closely related to the Penrose rhomb tilings and can be obtained from the pentagrid construction. We introduce a finite set of marked…
We describe a method to classify crystallographic tilings of the Euclidean and hyperbolic planes by tiles whose stabiliser group contains translation isometries or whose topology is not that of a closed disk. We tackle this problem from two…
We introduce a notion of equivalence on tilings which is formulated in terms of their local structure. We compare it with the known concept of locally deriving one tiling from another and show that two tilings of finite type are…
This paper deals with iteration stable (STIT) tessellations, and, more generally, with a certain class of tessellations that are infinitely divisible with respect to iteration. They form a new, rich and flexible class of spatio-temporal…
We introduce a new general framework for constructing tilings of Euclidean space, which we call multiscale substitution tilings. These tilings are generated by substitution schemes on a finite set of prototiles, in which multiple distinct…
We discuss two new results on tilings of the plane. In the first, we give sufficient conditions for the tilings associated with an inflation rule to be uniquely ergodic under translations, the conditions holding for the pinwheel inflation…
A general construction principle of inflation rules for decagonal quasiperiodic tilings is proposed. The prototiles are confined to be polygons with unit edges. An inflation rule for a tiling is the combination of an expansion and a…
Generalizing results of Temperley, Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte and others we describe a natural equivalence between three planar objects: weighted bipartite planar graphs; planar Markov chains; and tilings with convex polygons. This…
This paper presents a detailed symbolic approach to the study of self-similar tilings. It uses properties of addresses associated with graph-directed iterated function systems to establish conjugacy properties of tiling spaces. Tiles may be…
Several variants of the classic Fibonacci inflation tiling are considered in an illustrative fashion, in one and in two dimensions, with an eye on changes or robustness of diffraction and dynamical spectra. In one dimension, we consider…
Since the seminal work of Mecke, Nagel and Weiss, the iteration stable (STIT) tessellations have attracted considerable interest in stochastic geometry as a natural and flexible yet analytically tractable model for hierarchical spatial…
