A topology for Engel expansions: evaluation and digit coding maps

Dynamical Systems 2025-10-14 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We develop a topological framework for Engel expansions that treats both directions of the correspondence between points of (0,1](0,1] and nondecreasing digit sequences. We endow the sequence space with the product topology to study the evaluation map, and we fix a nonterminating digit algorithm to study the digit coding map. We also record the correspondence between cylinder sets and fundamental intervals, and give an application to Baire category results for functions of the digits.
