Model sets (or cut and project sets) provide a familiar and commonly used method of constructing and studying nonperiodic point sets. Here we extend this method to situations where the internal spaces are no longer Euclidean, but instead…
Aperiodic point sets (or tilings) which can be obtained by the method of cut and projection from higher dimensional periodic sets play an important role for the description of quasicrystals. Their topological invariants can be computed…
This paper is concerned with a covering problem of Euclidean space by a particular arrangement of cones that are not necessarily full and are allowed to overlap. The problem provides an equivalent geometric reformulation of the solvability…
