| contents | A quadrangle in the Euclidean plane is called $n$-self-affine if it has a dissection into $n$ affine images of itself. All convex quadrangles are known to be $n$-self-affine for every $n \ge 5$. The only $2$-self-affine convex quadrangles are trapezoids. Here we characterize all $3$-self-affine convex quadrangles, obtaining $5$ one-parameter families and $13$ singular examples of affine types. This way we reduce the quest for all $n$-self-affine convex quadrangles to the open case $n=4$.
In addition, we show that there are $n$-self-affine non-convex quadrangles for all $n \ge 3$, but not for $n=2$. |
