The finiteness property for shift radix systems with general parameters

Abstract

There are two-dimensional expanding shift radix systems (SRS) which have some periodic orbits. The aim of the present paper is to describe such unusual points as well as possible. We give all regions that contain parameters the corresponding SRS of which generate obvious cycles like (1),(1),(1,1),(1,0),(1,0)(1), (-1), (1,-1), (1,0), (-1,0). We prove that if r=(r0,r1)R2\mathbf{r}=(r_0,r_1)\in \mathbb{R}^2 neither belongs to the aforementioned regions nor to the finite region 1r04/3,r0r1<r011\le r_0\le 4/3, -r_0 \le r_1 <r_0-1, then τr\tau_{\mathbf{r}} only has the trivial bounded orbit 0\mathbf{0}, which is a natural generalization of the established finiteness property for SRS with non-periodic orbits. The further reduction should be quite involving, because for all 1r0<4/31\le r_0< 4/3 there exists at least one interval II such that for the point (r0,r1)(r_0,r_1) this is not true whenever r1Ir_1\in I.
