This construction leads to a minimal Zd -action on the Cantor set. In this thesis, we will focus our attention on two examples that we will describe in full details. the Fibonacci tiling on R and the octogonal tiling on R2 . For the octogonal tiling, we find small strictly positive cocycles for the minimal action on specific cones of Z2 .99 p.enMathematics.Positive cocycles for minimal Zd-actions on a cantor set resulting from cut and project schemes: The octogonal tilingThesis
