Substitutions, abstract number systems and the space filling property

Clemens Fuchs, Robert Tijdeman (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we study multi-dimensional words generated by fixed points of substitutions by projecting the integer points on the corresponding broken halfline. We show for a large class of substitutions that the resulting word is the restriction of a linear function modulo 1 and that it can be decided whether the resulting word is space filling or not. The proof uses lattices and the abstract number system associated with the substitution.

Système dynamique à spectre discret et pavage périodique associé à une substitution

Anne Siegel (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

On donne une condition combinatoire effective suffisante pour que le sytème dynamique associé à une substitution de type Pisot ait un spectre purement discret. Dans le cas unimodulaire, cette condition est nécessaire dès que la substitution n'a qu'un cobord trivial ; elle est vérifiée si et seulement si le fractal de Rauzy associé à la substitution engendre un pavage auto-similaire et périodique. On en déduit des conditions de connexité des fractals de Rauzy.

Unimodular Pisot substitutions and their associated tiles

Jörg M. Thuswaldner (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let σ be a unimodular Pisot substitution over a d letter alphabet and let X 1 , ... , X d be the associated Rauzy fractals. In the present paper we want to investigate the boundaries X i ( 1 i d ) of these fractals. To this matter we define a certain graph, the so-called contact graph 𝒞 of σ . If σ satisfies a combinatorial condition called the super coincidence condition the contact graph can be used to set up a self-affine graph directed system whose attractors are certain pieces of the boundaries X 1 , ... , X d . From this graph...
