چکیده

Starting with a substitution tiling, we demonstrate a method for constructing infinitely many new substitution tilings. Each of these new tilings is derived from a graph iterated function system and the tiles have fractal boundary. We show that each of the new tilings is mutually locally derivable to the original tiling. Thus, at the tiling space level, the new substitution rules are expressing geometric and combinatorial, rather than topological, features of the original. Our method is easy to apply to particular substitution tilings, permits experimentation, and can be used to construct border-forcing substitution rules. For a large class of examples we show that the combinatorial dual tiling has a realization as a substitution tiling. Since the boundaries of our new tilings are fractal we are led to compute their fractal dimension. As an application of our techniques we show how to compute the Čech cohomology of a (not necessarily border-forcing) tiling using a graph iterated function system of a fractal tiling.

Dual Systems of algebraic iterated function systems, Rauzy fractals and β-tilings

Algebraic GIFS is a class of graph-directed iterated function systems (IFS) on R with algebraic parameters. A dual IFS of an algebraic GIFS can be constructed, and the duality between the two systems and has been investigated from various points of view. We review the results of dual IFS concerning the open set condition, purely periodic codings and the Rauzy-Thurston tilings, and their relatio...

A Fractal Fundamental Domain with 12-fold Symmetry

Square triangle tilings are relevant models for quasicrystals. We introduce a new self-similar tile-substitution which yields the well-known nonperiodic square triangle tilings of Schlottmann. It is shown that the new tilings are locally derivable from Schlottmann’s, but not vice versa, and that they are mutually locally derivable with the undecorated square triangle tilings. Furthermore, the r...

Algebraic Numbers and Automorphisms of Free Groups

We give a construction that extends to the general hyperbolic case recent work on the geometric representation of Pisot substitutions and the explicit construction of Markov partitions for Pisot toral automorphisms . For the sake of simplicity, we consider a simple example of an automorphism of the free group on 4 generators, whose associated matrix has 4 distinct complex eigenvalues, two of th...

Connectedness of number theoretical tilings

We also study the connectedness of Pisot dual tilings which play an important role in the study of β-expansion, substitution and symbolic dynamical system. It is shown that each tile generated by a Pisot unit of degree 3 is arcwise connected. This is naturally expected since the digit set consists of consecutive integers as above. However surprisingly, we found families of disconnected Pisot du...

Transmission properties of one dimensional fractal structures

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...
