Abstract: | It has previously been observed that the limiting gap distribution of the directions to visible points of planar quasicrystals may vanish near zero, that is, there exist planar quasicrystals with a positive limiting minimal normalised gap between the angles of visible points. The exact values of these limiting minimal normalised gaps have not been determined. In this paper we give explicit formulas for the densities of visible points for planar quasicrystals from several families, which include the Ammann–Beenker point set and the vertex sets of some rhombic Penrose tilings. Combining these results with a known characterisation of the limiting minimal gap in terms of a probability measure on an associated homogeneous space of quasicrystals, we give explicit values of the limiting minimal normalised gap between the angles of visible points for several families of planar quasicrystals, in particular, for the Ammann–Beenker point set and for the vertex sets of some rhombic Penrose tilings. We also compare our results with numerical observations. |
