Tilings Encyclopedia | Frédéric Lançon

In [Lan88], energetic properties of certain decorations of Penrose Rhomb tilings were studied. A binary tiling was defined as a tiling by Penrose rhombs, where at each vertex all angles are either in {$\frac{\pi}{5}$, $3\frac{\pi}{5}$}, or in {$2\frac{\pi}{5}$, $4\frac{\pi}{5}$}. (‘Binary’ because the decorations were used to model binary alloys, i.e., alloys consisisting of two metallic elements). The authors did not mention the substitution rule explicitly, but it is obvious from the diagrams in this paper.

Golden Triangle

The substitution can be expressed by using the real inflation factor $\sqrt{\tau} = 1.272\ldots$, where $\tau=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$ is the golden mean. This factor is not a PV number. Nevertheless, the tiling is pure point diffractive, and it is a cut and project tiling, see [Gel97] , [Dv00] . Thus the right point of view is to consider it as a tiling with the inflation factor sqrt(-tau), which is a complex PV number.

Domino

Also known as ‘table tiling’. In [Sol97] was shown that its dynamical spectrum has a continuous component. Thus it cannot be a cut and project tiling. The same was shown in [Rob99] , where a topological model of the dynamical system of the domino tilings is obtained.
