A Note on Affinely Regular Polygons
The affinely regular polygons in certain planar sets are characterized. It is
also shown that the obtained results apply to cyclotomic model sets and,
additionally, have consequences in the discrete tomography of these sets.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur
Solution of a uniqueness problem in the discrete tomography of algebraic Delone sets
We consider algebraic Delone sets in the Euclidean plane and
address the problem of distinguishing convex subsets of by X-rays
in prescribed -directions, i.e., directions parallel to nonzero
interpoint vectors of . Here, an X-ray in direction of a finite
set gives the number of points in the set on each line parallel to . It is
shown that for any algebraic Delone set there are four prescribed
-directions such that any two convex subsets of can be
distinguished by the corresponding X-rays. We further prove the existence of a
natural number such that any two convex subsets of
can be distinguished by their X-rays in any set of
prescribed -directions. In particular, this
extends a well-known result of Gardner and Gritzmann on the corresponding
problem for planar lattices to nonperiodic cases that are relevant in
quasicrystallography.Comment: 21 pages, 1 figur
