Abstract
Quasiperiodic tilings of kite-and-dart type, widely used as models for quasicrystals with decagonal symmetry, are constructed by means of somewhat artificial matching rules for the tiles. The proof of aperiodicity uses a self-similarity property, or inflation procedure, which requires drawing auxiliary lines. We introduce a modification of the kite-and-dart tilings which comes very naturally with both properties: the tiles are strictly self-similar, and their fractal boundaries provide perfect matching rules.
