The publication of this paper led to a stampede of research, both experimental and theoretical, and an examination of earlier studies by eminent people like Roger Penrose and Alan Mackay in England about the possibilities of filling space by tiling with two distinct populations of tiles, as illustrated in Figure 10.8. This is the basis of quasicrystalline structure. 

The connection in this context owes its origin to the existence of singularities, or regions of space-time in which known laws of physics presumably break down [schiff93]. That singularities must be a part of space-time is a celebrated result due to Hawking and Penrose, who proved this result assuming only that space-time is a smooth manifold.

It should be noted that in the case of a singular matrix A, the dimensions of V and A are pxr and rxr, respectively, where r is smaller than p. The expression in eq. (29.53) allows us to compute the generalized inverse, specifically the Moore-Penrose inverse, of a symmetric matrix A from the expression ... 

Other studies have investigated transport in soil and at DOE waste disposal sites (Fowler et al. 1981 McCarthy et al. 1998a, 1998b Penrose et al. 1990). As a result of these studies, the environmental fate of americium is reasonably well understood.

Because a regular triacontahedron can be geometrically decomposed into ten prolate and ten oblate rhombohedra, the 1/1 and 2/1 ACs can also be viewed as two different types of periodic condensations of prolate and oblate rhombohedral building blocks. In this way, a link between AC structures and 3D Penrose tiles [93] used for i-QC modeling becomes evident. Therefore, the local atomic orders within and the linkages among triacontahedra are very useful in QC modeling.
