Part of the book series: Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis ((ANHA))

Summary

Applications of the theory of finite automata, automatic and substitutive sequences to the description of physical situations intermediate between crystallographic order and random disorder in theoretical and experimental Condensed Matter Physics are described. Particular reference is made to Trace Mapping techniques, experimental applications include the investigation of multilayer heterostructures designed after such automatic or substitutive sequences and the use of their specific properties.
