Abstract

The Thue-Morse set is the set of those nonnegative integers whose binary expansions have an even number of 11. We obtain an exact formula for the state complexity of the multiplication by a constant of the Thue-Morse set T\mathcal{T} with respect with any base bb which is a power of 22. Our proof is constructive and we are able to explicitly provide the minimal automaton of the language of all 2p2^p-expansions of the set of integers mTm\mathcal{T} for any positive integers mm and pp.
