We introduce and study expansions of real numbers with respect to two integer bases.

Expansion of real numbers is a basic research topic in number theory. Usually we expand real numbers in one given base. In this paper, we begin to systematically study expansions in multiple given bases in a reasonable way, which is a…

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…

The (-\beta)-integers are natural generalisations of the \beta-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. They can be described by infinite words which are fixed points of anti-morphisms. We show that they are not…

The well-known expansion of rational integers in an arbitrary integer base different from $0, 1, -1$ is exploited to study relations between numerical monoids and certain subsemigroups of the multiplicative semigroup of nonzero integers.

For $\alpha>1$ we represent a real number in $(0,1]$ in the form \[ \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}(\alpha-1)^{i-1}\alpha^{-(d_{1}+\dots+d_{i})}\] with $d_{i}\in\mathbb{N}$. We discuss ergodic theoretical and dimension theoretical aspects of this…

We study arithmetical aspects of Ito-Sadahiro number systems with negative base. We show that the bases $-\beta<-1$, where $\beta$ is zero of $x^3-mx^2-mx-m,\ m\in\mathbb N,$ possess the so-called finiteness property. For the Tribonacci…

Given $\beta\in(1,2)$ and $x\in[0,\frac{1}{\beta-1}]$, a sequence $(\epsilon_{i})_{i=1}^{\infty}\in\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is called a $\beta$-expansion for $x$ if $$x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{\epsilon_{i}}{\beta^{i}}.$$ In a recent article…

Given $\beta\in(1,2)$, a $\beta$-expansion of a real $x$ is a power series in base $\beta$ with coefficients 0 and 1 whose sum equals $x$. The aim of this note is to study certain problems related to the universality and combinatorics of…

In \cite{[NE]} we introduce $\alpha$-expansions a real numbers in $(0,1]$, given by \[ \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}(\alpha-1)^{i-1}\alpha^{-(d_{1}+\dots+d_{i})}\] with $\alpha>1$ and $d_{i}\in\mathbb{N}$ and discuss ergodic theoretical and dimension…

In this article, we investigate the $\beta$-expansions of real algebraic numbers. In particular, we give new lower bounds for the number of digit exchanges in the case where $\beta$ is a Pisot or Salem number. Moreover, we define a new…

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…

The lazy algorithm for a real base $\beta$ is generalized to the setting of Cantor bases $\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ introduced recently by Charlier and the author. To do so, let $x_{\boldsymbol{\beta}}$ be the greatest…

The finiteness property is an important arithmetical property of beta-expansions. We exhibit classes of Pisot numbers $\beta$ having the negative finiteness property, that is the set of finite $(-\beta)$-expansions is equal to…

Let $s_a(n)$ denote the sum of digits of an integer $n$ in the base $a$ expansion. Answering, in a extended form, a question of Deshouillers, Habsieger, Laishram, and Landreau, we show that, provided $a$ and $b$ are multiplicatively…

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…

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…

For a real number $0<\lambda<2$, we introduce a transformation $T_\lambda$ naturally associated to expansion in $\lambda$-continued fraction, for which we also give a geometrical interpretation. The symbolic coding of the orbits of…

We introduce a family of dynamical systems that generate negative $\beta$-expansions and study the support of the invariant measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We give a characterization of the set of…

We show that for a Salem number $\beta$ of degree $d$, there exists a positive constant $c(d)$ that $\beta^m$ is a Parry number for integers $m$ of natural density $\ge c(d)$. Further, we show $c(6)>1/2$ and discuss a relation to the…
