We consider numeration systems where digits are integers and the base is an algebraic number $\beta$ such that $|\beta|>1$ and $\beta$ satisfies a polynomial where one coefficient is dominant in a certain sense. For this class of bases…
We present a study of the problem of finiteness of the $\beta$-expansions for the set of natural numbers, condition $F_1$ in brief, for three families of Pisot numbers for which the $\beta$-expansion of 1 is not a non-decreasing sequence.…
If $k$ is set equal to $a q$ in the definition of a WP Bailey pair, \[ \beta_{n}(a,k) = \sum_{j=0}^{n} \frac{(k/a)_{n-j}(k)_{n+j}}{(q)_{n-j}(aq)_{n+j}}\alpha_{j}(a,k), \] this equation reduces to $\beta_{n}=\sum_{j=0}^{n}\alpha_{j}$. This…
We study the palindromic complexity of infinite words $u_\beta$, the fixed points of the substitution over a binary alphabet, $\phi(0)=0^a1$, $\phi(1)=0^b1$, with $a-1\geq b\geq 1$, which are canonically associated with quadratic non-simple…
For a polynomial $g(x)$ of deg $k \geq 2$ with integer coefficients and positive integer leading coefficient, we prove an upper bound for the least prime $p$ such that $g(p)$ is in non-homogeneous Beatty sequence $\lbrace \lfloor \alpha…
We study non-standard number systems with negative base $-\beta$. Instead of the Ito-Sadahiro definition, based on the transformation $T_{-\beta}$ of the interval $\big[-\frac{\beta}{\beta+1},\frac{1}{\beta+1}\big)$ into itself, we suggest…
This paper studies tilings related to the beta-transformation when beta is a Pisot number (that is not supposed to be a unit). Then it applies the obtained results to study the set of rational numbers having a purely periodic…
We prove new variants of the Lambert series factorization theorems studied by Merca and Schmidt (2017) which correspond to a more general class of Lambert series expansions of the form $L_a(\alpha, \beta, q) := \sum_{n \geq 1} a_n q^{\alpha…
We investigate matching for the family $T_\alpha(x) = \beta x + \alpha \pmod 1$, $\alpha \in [0,1]$, for fixed $\beta > 1$. Matching refers to the property that there is an $n \in \mathbb N$ such that $T_\alpha^n(0) = T_\alpha^n(1)$. We…
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 is well known that real numbers with a purely periodic decimal expansion are the rationals having, when reduced, a denominator coprime with 10. The aim of this paper is to extend this result to beta-expansions with a Pisot base beta…
A numerical semigroup is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers. In this paper, we consider parametrized families of numerical semigroups of the form $P_n = \langle f_1(n), \ldots, f_k(n) \rangle$ for polynomial functions…
We study periodic representations in number systems with an algebraic base $\beta$ (not a rational integer). We show that if $\beta$ has no Galois conjugate on the unit circle, then there exists a finite integer alphabet $\mathcal A$ such…
The well known binary and decimal representations of the integers, and other similar number systems, admit many generalisations. Here, we investigate whether still every integer could have a finite expansion on a given integer base b, when…
The set A = {a_n} of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order h if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of h elements of A. If a_n ~ alpha n^h for some real number alpha > 0, then alpha is called an…
We report on the progress in the computation of the beta-functions of phi^4 theory and QCD in the large N expansion. For the former we give an analytic formula for the critical exponent which encodes higher order coefficients in the series…
We compare the level zero part of the type of a representation of GL(n) over a non-archimedean local field with the tame part of its Langlands parameter restricted to inertia. By normalizing this comparison, we construct canonical…
A real number $\beta>1$ is called an Yrrap (or Ito-Sadahiro) number if the corresponding negative $\beta$-transformation defined by $x\mapsto 1-\{\beta x\}$ for $x\in[0,1]$, where $\{y\}$ denotes the fraction part of $y\in\mathbb{R}$, has a…
The Riemann Xi-function Xi(t)=xi(1/2+it) is a particularly interesting member of a broad family of entire functions which can be expanded in terms of symmetrized Pochhammer polynomials depending on a certain scaling parameter beta. An…
In this paper we deal with a problem of Peth\H{o} related to existence of quartic algebraic integer $\alpha$ for which $$ \beta=\frac{4\alpha^4}{\alpha^4-1}-\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-1} $$ is a quadratic algebraic number. By studying rational…
