Generalized Penrose CASTs for odd n

Let nn be odd with n5n\geq5, and consider the CASTs described in Theorem~. Let μn,n/2\mu_{n,\lfloor n/2\rfloor} be the diagonal-based inflation multiplier used there, and let Mn,n/2M_{n,\lfloor n/2\rfloor} be the corresponding substitution matrix. A prototile is one tile type in the substitution system, and a substitution rule specifies its substituted patch. Generalized Penrose CAST conjecture. CASTs of this type with inflation multiplier

η=μn,n/2\eta=\mu_{n,\left\lfloor n/2\right\rfloor}

and substitution matrix

Mn=(Mn,n/2)2M_n=\left(M_{n,\left\lfloor n/2\right\rfloor}\right)^2

exist with exactly n/2\lfloor n/2\rfloor prototiles and exactly n/2\lfloor n/2\rfloor corresponding substitution rules for every odd n5n\geq5. The claim extends the Penrose example to all odd orders considered, with the displayed matrix and number of prototiles prescribing the common combinatorial structure; examples are reported for several small values of nn, while existence for every odd n5n\geq5 is the conjectural part.
