Abstract

We focus in this survey on effectiveness issues for S-adic subshifts and tilings. An S-adic subshift or tiling space is a dynamical system obtained by iterating an infinite composition of substitutions, where a substitution is a rule that replaces a letter by a word (that might be multi-dimensional), or a tile by a finite union of tiles. Several notions of effectiveness exist concerning S-adic subshifts and tiling spaces, such as the computability of the sequence of iterated substitutions, or the effectiveness of the language. We compare these notions and discuss effectiveness issues concerning classical properties of the associated subshifts and tiling spaces, such as the computability of shift-invariant measures and the existence of local rules (soficity). We also focus on planar tilings.
