We investigate in a geometrical way the sieving process of 021 β 3 for obtaining the Delone set 0 β 4 051 β 3 of β integers where β is a Perron number in the context of linear asymptotic invariants associated with a canonical inductive system constructed from β . When β is a Pisot number, we exhibit a canonical cut-and-project scheme, a model set associated with 0 β and so prove that it is a Me...
