Abstract

We prove that in any totally irrational cut-and-project setup with codimension (internal space dimension) one, it is possible to choose sections (windows) in non-trivial ways so that the resulting sets are bounded displacement equivalent to lattices. Our proof demonstrates that for any irrational ${\it\alpha}$, regardless of Diophantine type, there is a collection of intervals in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ which is closed under translation, contains intervals of arbitrarily small length, and along which the discrepancy of the sequence $\{n{\it\alpha}\}$ is bounded above uniformly by a constant.
