Let $\alpha, \beta$ be two relatively prime algebraic integers in a number field $K$ and $N$ be a positive integer. We show that the number of $n\in\{1,2,\dots,N\}$ such that the $\beta$-adic expansion of $\alpha^n$ omits a given digit is…

We consider base-$\beta$ expansions of Parry's type, where $a_0 \geq a_1 \geq 1$ are integers and $a_0<\beta <a_0+1$ is the positive solution to $\beta^2 = a_0\beta + a_1$ (the golden ratio corresponds to $a_0=a_1=1$). The map $x\mapsto…

We prove that all algebraic bases $\beta$ allow an eventually periodic representations of the elements of $\mathbb Q(\beta)$ with a finite alphabet of digits $\mathcal A$. Moreover, the classification of bases allowing that those…

Alternate bases are a numeration system that generalizes the R\'enyi numeration system. It is common in this context to construct examples or counter-examples by specifying the expansions of $1$ in the desired system. While it is easy to…

Much has been written about expansions of real numbers in noninteger bases. Particularly, for a finite alphabet $\{0,1,\dots,\alpha\}$ and a real number (base) $1<\beta<\alpha+1$, the so-called {\em univoque set} of numbers which have a…

In 1930, G. H. Hardy and J. E. Littlewood derived results concerning rates of divergence of certain series involving cosecants. In more recent terminology, one of their results can be interpreted in terms of the behaviour of orbits in a…

We determine the structure of the set of intermediate $\beta$-shifts of finite type. Specifically, we show that this set is dense in the parameter space $\Delta = \{ (\beta, \alpha) \in \mathbb{R}^{2} \colon \beta \in (1, 2) \; \text{and}…

Let \beta_n>1 be a root of x^n-x-1 for n=4,5,... We will prove that \beta_n is not a Parry number, i.e., the associated beta transformation does not correspond a sofic symbolic system. A generalization is shown in the last section.

We study real numbers $\beta$ with the curious property that the $\beta$-expansion of all sufficiently small positive rational numbers is purely periodic. It is known that such real numbers have to be Pisot numbers which are units of the…

We study periodic expansions in positional number systems with a base $\beta\in\C,\ |\beta|>1$, and with coefficients in a finite set of digits $\A\subset\C.$ We are interested in determining those algebraic bases for which there exists…

Let $\beta>1$ be a real number and define the $\beta$-transformation on $[0,1]$ by $T_\beta:x\mapsto \beta x\bmod 1$. Further, define $$W_y(T_{\beta},\Psi):=\{x\in [0, 1]:|T_\beta^nx-y|<\Psi(n) \mbox{ for infinitely many $n$}\}$$ and…

We compare a piecewise linear map with constant slope beta>1 and a piecewise linear map with constant slope -beta. These maps are called the positive and negative beta-transformations. We show that for a certain set of beta's, the…

It has been suggested that an information geometric view of statistical mechanics in which a metric is introduced onto the space of parameters provides an interesting alternative characterisation of the phase structure, particularly in the…

Let $(\alpha,\mathcal{N}_{\alpha})$ and $(\beta,\mathcal{N}_{\beta})$ be two canonical number systems for an imaginary quadratic number field $K$ such that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are multiplicatively independent. We provide an effective lower…

Higher-dimensional binary shifts of number-theoretic origin with positive topological entropy are considered. We are particularly interested in analysing their symmetries and extended symmetries. They form groups, known as the topological…

For a given base $\gamma$ and a digit set ${\mathcal B}$ we consider optimal representations of a number $x$, as defined by Dajani at al. in 2012. For a non-integer negative base $\gamma=-\beta<-1$ and the digit set ${\mathcal…

We have studied optical metrics via null geodesics and optical-mechanical formulation of classical mechanics, and described the geometry and optics of mechanical systems with drag dependent quadratically on velocity. Then we studied null…

The stability theory of compact metric spaces with positive topological dimension is a well-established area in Dynamical Systems. A central result, attributed to Walters, connects the concepts of topological stability and the shadowing…

This work presents a numerical analysis of computing transition states of semilinear elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) via the index-1 saddle dynamics, or equivalently, the gentlest ascent dynamics. To establish clear…

We study rational numbers with purely periodic R\'enyi $\beta$-expansions. For bases $\beta$ satisfying $\beta^2=a\beta+b$ with $b$ dividing $a$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $\gamma(\beta)=1$, i.e., that all rational…
