The Binet-Pexider functional equation for rectangular matrices.
Suppose has a 2-dimensional expanding subspace , satisfies a regularity condition, called “good star”, and has , where is an oriented compound of . A morphism of the free group on is called a non-abelianization of if it has structure matrix . We show that there is a tiling substitution whose “boundary substitution” is a non-abelianization of . Such a tiling substitution leads to a self-affine tiling of with as its expansion. In the last section we find conditions on so...
