Abstract: There are several notions of the 'dual' of a word/tile substitution. We show that the most common ones are equivalent for substitutions in dimension one, where we restrict ourselves to the case of two letters/tiles. Furthermore, we obtain necessary and sufficient arithmetic conditions for substitutions being selfdual in this case. Since many connections between the different notions of word/tile substitution are discussed, this paper may also serve as a survey paper on this topic.


Substitutions are a powerful tool to generate a large number of nonperiodic structures. Surveying a vast list of sources, the authors of the paper under review analyze the concept of a dual substitution for distinct concepts of substitutions (for words, tilings, etc.) and discuss various connections between the different notions of word or tile substitution.NEWLINENEWLINERestricting themselves to the case of two letters or two tiles in dimension one, they show that the most common notions of the dual of a substitution are equivalent. Also necessary and sufficient conditions for substitutions being selfdual are obtained in this case.
