Abstract

Various schemes have been proposed and employed, which extend the method of indexing lattice vectors and reciprocal-lattice vectors, so that it can be used in the context of quasicrystals. The concept of the generalized inverse of a matrix provides an elegant unified approach to the vectors and reciprocal vectors of quasilattices, and their associated zone laws and inflation rules. We present a survey, from the viewpoint provided by the concept of the Moore–Penrose inverse, of the indexing problem for quasicrystals.
