Abstract: | A finite collectionP of finite sets tiles the integers iff the integers can be expressed as a disjoint union of translates of members ofP. We associate with such a tiling a doubly infinite sequence with entries fromP. The set of all such sequences is a sofic system, called a tiling system. We show that, up to powers of the shift, every shift of finite type can be realized as a tiling system. Some of this work was done at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), where research is supported in part by NSF grant DMS-9701755. The first two authors thank K. Schmidt for useful conversations and ideas. |
