Given two real numbers $q_0,q_1$ with $q_0, q_1 > 1$ satisfying $q_0+q_1 \ge q_0q_1$, we call a sequence $(d_i)$ with $d_i\in \{0,1\}$ a $(q_0,q_1)$-expansion or a double-base expansion of a real number $x$ if \[…

Let $\beta>1$ and let $m>\be$ be an integer. Each $x\in I_\be:=[0,\frac{m-1}{\beta-1}]$ can be represented in the form \[ x=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \epsilon_k\beta^{-k}, \] where $\epsilon_k\in\{0,1,...,m-1\}$ for all $k$ (a $\beta$-expansion of…

We deduce several curious q-series expansions by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. After rewriting some of these expansions in terms of q-integrals, we obtain, in the limit q -> 1, some…

The beta-conjugates of a base of numeration $\beta > 1$, $\beta$ being a Parry number, were introduced by Boyd, in the context of the R\'enyi-Parry dynamics of numeration system and the beta-transformation. These beta-conjugates are…

Let $\beta > 1$ be a real number and $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number. We denote by $k_n(x)$ the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of $x$ given by the first $n$ digits in the $\beta$-expansion of $x$…

We study the dynamics of a simple random walk on subshifts defined by the beta transformation and apply it to find concrete formulae for the Hausdorff dimension of digit frequency sets for $\beta>1$ that solves $\beta^{m+1}-\beta^m-1=0$…

We study the negative beta transformations $T_{-\beta}:=-\beta x +\lfloor\beta x\rfloor+1$ for $x\in(0,1]$ and $\beta>1$. We present a complete characterization of pairs of dstinct non-integers with the same $T_{-\beta}$-invariant measure:…

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…

Given a primitive collection of vectors in the integer lattice, we count the number of ways it can be extended to a basis by vectors with sup-norm bounded by $T$, producing an asymptotic estimate as $T \to \infty$. This problem can be…

Let $r \ge 2$ and $s \ge 2$ be multiplicatively dependent integers. We establish a lower bound for the sum of the block complexities of the $r$-ary expansion and of the $s$-ary expansion of an irrational real number, viewed as infinite…

For an alternate base $\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_0,\ldots,\beta_{p-1})$, we show that if all rational numbers in the unit interval $[0,1)$ have periodic expansions with respect to the $p$ shifts of $\boldsymbol{\beta}$, then the bases…

Let $1<\beta<2$. Given any $x\in[0, (\beta-1)^{-1}]$, a sequence $(a_n)\in\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is called a $\beta$-expansion of $x$ if $x=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n\beta^{-n}.$ For any $k\geq 1$ and any $(b_1b_2\cdots b_k)\in\{0,1\}^{k}$, if…

We consider certain non-integer base $\beta$-expansions of Parry's type and we study various properties of the transfer (Perron-Frobenius) operator $\mathcal{P}:L^p([0,1])\mapsto L^p([0,1])$ with $p\geq 1$ and its associated composition…

For a given positive integer $m$, let $A=\set{0,1,...,m}$ and $q \in (m,m+1)$. A sequence $(c_i)=c_1c_2 ...$ consisting of elements in $A$ is called an expansion of $x$ if $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} c_i q^{-i}=x$. It is known that almost every…

Let $\beta > 1$ be a real number and $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number. Denote by $k_n(x)$ the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of $x$ given by the first $n$ digits in the $\beta$-expansion of $x$…

From the works of Rauzy and Thurston, we know how to construct (multiple) tilings of some Euclidean space using the conjugates of a Pisot unit $\beta$ and the greedy $\beta$-transformation. In this paper, we consider different…

In this work in progress, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the $p$-quantile of the Beta distribution, i.e. the quantity $q$ defined implicitly by $\int_0^q t^{a - 1} (1 - t)^{b - 1} \text{d} t = p B (a, b)$, as a function of the first…

A folklore conjecture in number theory states that the only integers whose expansions in base $3,4$ and $5$ contain solely binary digits are $0, 1$ and $82000$. In this paper, we present the first progress on this conjecture. Furthermore,…

For $\beta > 1$ a real algebraic integer ({\it the base}), the finite alphabets $\mathcal{A} \subset \mathbb{Z}$ which realize the identity $\mathbb{Q}(\beta) = {\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$, where ${\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$ is the…

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…
