Thue Morse 2D

This is the 2D version of the one-dimensional Thue Morse tiling due to Shelomo Ben-Abraham et.al. The graphic was created by Leif Borgstedt.

Nischke-Danzer-Deltoid 7-fold-2-2

The Nischke-Danzer-Deltoid 7-fold-2-2 was discussed and derived in [ND96] but not shown. A figure with the tiling can be found in [Pau2017] .

Sub Rosa n-fold

J. Kari and M. Rissanen derived a set of rhomb substitution tilings in [KR2016] with n-fold dihedral symmetry.

  • All substitution rules have dihedral $D_{2}$ symmetry.
  • All edges of the substitution rules are equal and also have dihedral $D_{2}$ symmetry.
  • All interior angles of all prototiles are …
