Which Meyer sets are regular model sets? A characterization via almost periodicity

In 2012, Meyer introduced the notions of generalized almost periodic measure and almost periodic pattern and proved that regular model sets in Euclidean space are almost periodic patterns. Here, we prove the converse in a slightly more general setting. Specifically, we show that a Meyer set in any $\sigma$-compact locally compact abelian group is a regular model set if and only if it is an almost periodic pattern.
