The authors investigate a special class of Delone sets which quite naturally appear in the mathematical theory of quasicrystals. They are essentially characterized by admitting: (a) an inflation symmetry with a special Pisot-Vijayaraghavan expansion multiplier, (b) a description as a cut-and-project set (or model set), and (c) a closedness condition under a certain binary operation. Planar examples with \(n\)-fold symmetry and 3D cases with icosahedral symmetry are discussed in this setting, with special emphasis on semigroups of generalized symmetries. This aims at the algebraic generation of such sets, compare the article by \textit{L. Chen}, \textit{R. V. Moody} and \textit{J. Patera} in the same book [135-178 (1998; see the following review Zbl 0916.20026)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0894.00039].
