In this paper we prove that if two self-similar tiling systems, with respective stretching factors $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, have a common factor which is a non periodic tiling system, then $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are…

We consider a class of planar self-affine sets which we call "box-like". A box-like self-affine set is the attractor of an iterated function system (IFS) of affine maps where the image of the unit square, [0,1]^2, under arbitrary…

We say that a function $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R})$ tiles at level $w$ by a discrete translation set $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}$, if we have $\sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} f(x-\lambda)=w$ a.e. In this paper we survey the main results, and prove…

Let $F,E\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ be two self similar sets. First, assuming $F$ is generated by an IFS $\Phi$ with strong separation, we characterize the affine maps $g:\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ such that $g(F)\subseteq F$. Our…

We give a construction of a self-similar tiling of the plane with any prescribed expansion coefficient $\lambda\in\C$ (satisfying the necessary algebraic condition of being a complex Perron number). For any integer $m>1$ we show that there…

Conditions are given which imply that certain non-autonomous analytic iterated function systems (NIFS's) in the complex plane have uniformly perfect attractor sets, while other conditions imply the attractor is pointwise thin, and thus…

We introduce a duality for Affine Iterated Function Systems (AIFS) which is naturally motivated by group duality in the context of traditional harmonic analysis. Our affine systems yield fractals defined by iteration of contractive affine…

We show that the Tile Assembly Model exhibits a strong notion of universality where the goal is to give a single tile assembly system that simulates the behavior of any other tile assembly system. We give a tile assembly system that is…

For a large class of tilings, including the Penrose tiling in two dimension as well as the icosahedral ones in 3 dimension, the continuous hull of such a tiling inherits a minimal lamination structure with flat leaves and a transversal…

This paper describes the celebrated aperiodic hat tiling by Smith et al. [Comb. Theory 8 (2024), 6] as generated by an overlapping iterated function system. We briefly introduce and study infinite sequences of iterated function systems that…

Let $f:\hat{C}\to\hat{C}$ be a subhyperbolic rational map of degree $d$. We construct a set of coding maps $Cod(f)=\{\pi_r:\Sigma\to J\}_r$ of the Julia set $J$ by geometric coding trees, where the parameter $r$ ranges over mappings from a…

We study Minkowski contents and fractal curvatures of arbitrary self-similar tilings (constructed on a feasible open set of an IFS) and the general relations to the corresponding functionals for self-similar sets. In particular, we…

Tilings of the plane resemble the simplicial and other complexes from algebraic topology, but have not been studied from this perspective. We construct finite categories corresponding to polygons with labeled directed edges, and introduce…

We consider B\'ezier curves with complex parameters, and we determine explicitly the affine iterated function system (IFS) corresponding to the de Casteljau subdivision algorithm, together with the complex parametric domain over which such…

Given a substitution tiling $T$ of the plane with subdivision operator $\tau$, we study the conformal tilings $\mathcal{T}_n$ associated with $\tau^n T$. We prove that aggregate tiles within $\mathcal{T}_n$ converge in shape as…

Shift radix systems form a collection of dynamical systems depending on a parameter $\mathbf{r}$ which varies in the $d$-dimensional real vector space. They generalize well-known numeration systems such as beta-expansions, expansions with…

The algorithmic self-assembly of shapes has been considered in several models of self-assembly. For the problem of \emph{shape construction}, we consider an extended version of the Two-Handed Tile Assembly Model (2HAM), which contains…

We study two-digit attractors (2-attractors) in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which are self-affine compact sets defined by two contraction affine mappings with the same linear part. They are widely studied in the literature under various names:…

An effort has been made to show mathematicians some new ideas applied to image analysis. Gray images are presented as tilings. Based on topological properties of the tiling, a number of gray convex hulls: maximal, minimal, and oriented ones…

This paper introduces Fourier duality for a class of affine iterated function systems (IFS) T_i. These systems are determined by a finite family of contractive affine maps in R^d. Our Fourier duality applies to the resulting probability…
