Pinwheel Tiles

Pinwheel tilings made from right triangle prototiles with sidelengths 1, 2 and

√5

Consider a ”standard triangle” with vertices at(-.5, -.5), (.5, -.5), and (-.5, 1.5):

Contraction Mappings

Contraction Mapping

For a metric space (M, d), a function f : M → M such that∃k ∈ R where k < 1 and ∀x , y ∈ M,

d(f (x), f (y)) ≤ kd(x , y)

Example: Consider the map f : R2 → R2 defined by

f (x , y) = M−1P (x , y), where M−1

P =

(25 −1

515

25

).

Iterated Function Systems

Iterated Function System

A finite set of contraction mappings on a complete metric space.That is,

{fi : M → M|i = 1, 2, ...,N,N ∈ N}

where each fi is a contraction mapping and M is a complete metricspace (Every Cauchy sequence in M converges in M)

Theorem

For any iterated function system on Rn, there exists a unique fixedset S. That is, there exists S ⊆ Rn such that

S =N⋃i=1

fi (S).

Constructing Fractals Within the Pinwheel TilingThe Aorta Method

The following defines an iterated function system:

f1(x , y) = M−1P ∗ Ry (x , y) + (−0.4,−0.2),

f2(x , y) = M−1P (x , y),

f3(x , y) = Rπ ∗M−1P (x , y).

−→

This has a fixed set A =3⋃

i=1

fi (A). We call A the aorta.
