In this paper we study a class of plane self-affine lattice tiles that are
defined using polyominoes. In particular, we characterize which of these tiles
are homeomorphic to a closed disk. It turns out that their topological structure
depends very sensitively on their defining parameters.
¶ In order to achieve our results we use an algorithm of Scheicher and the second
author which allows to determine neighbors of tiles in a systematic way as well
as a criterion of Bandt and Wang, with that we can check disk-likeness of a
self-affine tile by analyzing the set of its neighbors.
