Homogenization of Penrose tilings
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 347 (2009) no. 11-12, pp. 697-700.

A homogenization theorem is proved for energies which follow the geometry of an a-periodic Penrose tiling. The result is obtained by proving that the corresponding energy densities are W1-almost periodic and hence also Besicovitch almost periodic, so that existing general homogenization theorems can be applied (Braides, 1986). The method applies to general quasicrystalline geometries.

On démontre un théorème d'homogénéisation pour des énergies qui suivent la géométrie d'un pavage apériodique de Penrose. Nos résultats, applicables à des géométries quasicristallines générales, sont obtenus en démontrant que les densités d'énergie correspondantes sont W1 – et donc Besicovitch – quasi-périodiques, de sort que l'on peut appliquer les théorèmes d'homogénéisation de Braides, 1986.
