چکیده

An iterated function system Φ consisting of contractive affine mappings has a unique attractor F ⊆ R which is invariant under the action of the system, as was shown by Hutchinson [Hut]. This paper shows how the action of the function system naturally produces a tiling T of the convex hull of the attractor. These tiles form a collection of sets whose geometry is typically much simpler than that of F , yet retains key information about both F and Φ. In particular, the tiles encode all the scaling data of Φ. We give the construction, along with some examples and applications. The tiling T is the foundation for the higher-dimensional extension of the theory of complex dimensions which was developed in [La-vF1] for the case d = 1.

Fractal tiles associated with shift radix systems☆

Shift radix systems form a collection of dynamical systems depending on a parameter r which varies in the d-dimensional real vector space. They generalize well-known numeration systems such as beta-expansions, expansions with respect to rational bases, and canonical number systems. Beta-numeration and canonical number systems are known to be intimately related to fractal shapes, such as the cla...

Geometry of Canonical Self-similar Tilings

We give several different geometric characterizations of the situation in which the parallel set Fε of a self-similar set F can be described by the inner ε-parallel set T −ε of the associated canonical tiling T , in the sense of [16]. For example, Fε = T−ε ∪Cε if and only if the boundary of the convex hull C of F is a subset of F , or if the boundary of E, the unbounded portion of the complemen...

Self-Affine Tiles in Rn

A self-affine tile in R is a set T of positive measure with A(T) = d ∈ $ < (T + d), where A is an expanding n × n real matrix with det (A) = m on integer, and $ = {d 1 ,d 2 , . . . , d m } ⊆ R is a set of m digits. It is known that self-affine tiles always give tilings of R by translation. This paper extends the known characterization of digit sets $ yielding self-affine tiles. It proves seve...

Neighbours of Self–Affine Tiles in Lattice Tilings

Let T be a tile of a self-affine lattice tiling. We give an algorithm that allows to determine all neighbours of T in the tiling. This can be used to characterize the sets VL of points, where T meets L other tiles. Our algorithm generalizes an algorithm of the authors which was applicable only to a special class of self-affine lattice tilings. This new algorithm can also be applied to classes c...

Rational Self-affine Tiles

An integral self-affine tile is the solution of a set equation AT = ⋃d∈D(T +d), where A is an n× n integer matrix and D is a finite subset of Z. In the recent decades, these objects and the induced tilings have been studied systematically. We extend this theory to matrices A ∈ Qn×n. We define rational self-affine tiles as compact subsets of the open subring R ×∏pKp of the adèle ring AK , where ...

Remarks on Self-Affine Tilings

We study self-affine tilings of R n with special emphasis on the two-digit case. We prove that in this case the tile is connected and, if n 3, is a lattice-tile.
