Generalized Penrose CASTs for odd n

About 10 years old · traced to

Let nn be odd with n≥5n\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/2⌋M_{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 n≥5n\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 n≥5n\geq5 is the conjectural part.
