Abstract

Let θ\theta be a real number, nNn\in\mathbb N, and Dn(θ)={k=1nakθkak{0,,θ}}.D_n(\theta)=\left\{\sum_{k=1}^n a_k\theta^{k}\mid a_k\in\{0,\dots,\lfloor \theta\rfloor\}\right\}. Let θ\theta be a Perron number, that is, an algebraic integer >1>1 whose other Galois conjugates are less than θ\theta in absolute value. I shall prove two results: (1) θn#Dn(θ)nθn.\theta^n\ll\#D_n(\theta)\ll\sqrt n \theta^n. (2) θ\theta is of height θ\le \lfloor\theta\rfloor.
