Abstract :
As Kepler’s Aa tiling is sometimes regarded as the pentagon tiling described by Penrose, the two tilings are compared considering their acceptance domains. The acceptance domain of the Penrose tiling is a decagon, whereas the acceptance domain of Kepler’s Aa tiling looks like a 10-fold toothed wheel; it exhibits a hole in the centre and it has therefore unusual inflation properties. A related tiling proposed by Dürer a century earlier than Kepler’s starts with an inflated pentagon and Dürer described the possibility of glueing tiles with random distribution.
