An algorithm for generating quasiperiodic patterns and their approximants

[摘要] An algorithm for projecting the interior of a hypercube in ð‘�?-dimensions on to an ð‘�?-dimensional subspace has been developed and incorporated into a computer program for generating quasiperiodic and periodic patterns in an ð‘�??-dimensional subspace. Some aspects of the resulting orthorhombic approximants to Penrose tiling patterns are discussed and illustrated.
