Abstract

We consider digital expansions in lattices with endomorphisms acting as base. We focus on the ww-non-adjacent form (ww-NAF), where each block of ww consecutive digits contains at most one non-zero digit. We prove that for sufficiently large ww and an expanding endomorphism, there is a suitable digit set such that each lattice element has an expansion as a ww-NAF. If the eigenvalues of the endomorphism are large enough and ww is sufficiently large, then the ww-NAF is shown to minimise the weight among all possible expansions of the same lattice element using the same digit system.
