Abstract: | A pseudo-self-similar tiling is a hierarchical tiling of Euclidean space which obeys a nonexact substitution rule: the substitution
for a tile is not geometrically similar to itself. An example is the Penrose tiling drawn with rhombi. We prove that a nonperiodic
repetitive tiling of the plane is pseudo-self-similar if and only if it has a finite number of derived Vorono\"{\i} tilings
up to similarity. To establish this characterization, we settle (in the planar case) a conjecture of E. A. Robinson by providing
an algorithm which converts any pseudo-self-similar tiling of R
2
into a self-similar tiling of R
2
in such a way that the translation dynamics associated to the two tilings are topologically conjugate.
