Abstract

Iterated morphisms of the free monoid are very simple combinatorial objects which produce infinite sequences by replacing iteratively letters by words. The aim of this paper is to introduce a formalism for a notion of two-dimensional morphisms; we show that they can be iterated by using local rules, and that they generate two-dimensional patterns related to discrete approximations of irrational planes with algebraic parameters. We associate such a two-dimensional morphism with any usual Pisot unimodular one-dimensional iterated morphism over a three-letter alphabet.
