The periodic tiling conjecture (PTC) asserts, for a finitely generated Abelian group $G$ and a finite subset $F$ of $G$, that if there is a set $A$ that solves the tiling equation $\mathbb{1}_F * \mathbb{1}_A = 1$, there is also a periodic…
A finite set of integers $A$ tiles the integers by translations if $\mathbb{Z}$ can be covered by pairwise disjoint translated copies of $A$. Restricting attention to one tiling period, we have $A\oplus B=\mathbb{Z}_M$ for some…
In the present article, we introduce beta-expansions in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic integers. We characterise the sets of numbers with eventually periodic and finite expansions.
Shift radix systems form a collection of dynamical systems depending on a parameter $\mathbf{r}$ which varies in the $d$-dimensional real vector space. They generalize well-known numeration systems such as beta-expansions, expansions with…
An $N$-tiling of triangle $ABC$ by triangle $T$ (the `tile') is a way of writing $ABC$ as a union of $N$ copies of $T$ overlapping only at their boundaries. Let the tile $T$ have angles $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$, and sides $(a,b,c)$. This…
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 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…
We study the question of pure periodicity of expansions in the negative base numeration system. In analogy of Akiyama's result for positive Pisot unit base $\beta$, we find a sufficient condition so that there exist an interval $J$…
The aim of this paper is to study the connection between different properties related to $\beta$-expansions. In particular, the relation between two conditions, both ensuring pure discrete spectrum of the odometer, is analysed. The first…
The periodic tiling conjecture asserts that if a region $\Sigma\subset \mathbb R^d$ tiles $\mathbb R^d$ by translations then it admits at least one fully periodic tiling. This conjecture is known to hold in $\mathbb R$, and recently it was…
We study here slopes of periodicity of tilings. A tiling is of slope if it is periodic along direction but has no other direction of periodicity. We characterize in this paper the set of slopes we can achieve with tilings, and prove they…
We study the numeration system with negative basis, introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. We focus on arithmetic operations in the set ${\rm Fin}(-\beta)$ and $\Z_{-\beta}$ of numbers having finite resp. integer $(-\beta)$-expansions. We show…
To a given Pisot unit $\beta$ we associate a finite abelian group whose size appears to be equal to the discriminant of $\beta$. We call it the Pisot group and find its representation in the two-sided $\beta$-compactum in the case of…
In this paper, we introduce the periodic tiling (PT) property for finite abelian groups. A finite abelian group is said to have the PT property if every non-periodic set that tiles the group by translation admits a periodic tiling…
We consider positional numeration system with negative base $-\beta$, as introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. In particular, we focus on arithmetical properties of such systems when $\beta$ is a quadratic Pisot number. We study a class of roots…
In this work, we study the number of finite tiles $A\subset\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ of size $\alpha$ that translationally tile a finite $C\subset\mathbb{Z}^{d}$. We consider two tiles $A$ and $A'$ to be congruent if and only if one can be…
Let $\beta >1$ be an integer or generally a Pisot number. Put $T(x) = \{ \beta x \}$ on $[0,1]$ and let $S: [0,1]\to [0,1]$ be a piecewise linear transformation whose slopes have the form $\pm \beta^m$ with positive integers $m$. We give…
Tilings of a surface of negative Euler characteristic by n-gons with n\ge 7 is a finite problem. We develop the algorithm for finding all the tilings for fixed number of tiles and present the calculation for tilings of surfaces of small…
A finite collection $P$ of finite sets tiles the integers iff the integers can be expressed as a disjoint union of translates of members of $P$. We associate with such a tiling a doubly infinite sequence with entries from $P$. The set of…
For applications to cryptography, it is important to represent numbers with a small number of non-zero digits (Hamming weight) or with small absolute sum of digits. The problem of finding representations with minimal weight has been solved…
