Sidorov and Vershik showed that in base $G=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$ and with the digits $0,1$ the numbers $x=nG ~(\text {mod} 1)$ have $\aleph_{0}$ expansions for any $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, while the other elements of $(0, \frac{1}{G-1})$ have…

It is a well known result that for $\beta\in(1,\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ and $x\in(0,\frac{1}{\beta-1})$ there exists uncountably many $(\epsilon_{i})_{i=1}^{\infty}\in {0,1}^{\mathbb{N}}$ such that…

Expansions in noninteger bases often appear in number theory and probability theory, and they are closely connected to ergodic theory, measure theory and topology. For two-letter alphabets the golden ratio plays a special role: in smaller…

Let $f$ be a measurable, real function defined in a neighbourhood of infinity. The function $f$ is said to be of generalised regular variation if there exist functions $h \not\equiv 0$ and $g > 0$ such that $f(xt) - f(t) = h(x) g(t) +…

For two real bases $q_0, q_1 > 1$, we consider expansions of real numbers of the form $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} i_k/(q_{i_1}q_{i_2}\cdots q_{i_k})$ with $i_k \in \{0,1\}$, which we call $(q_0,q_1)$-expansions. A sequence $(i_k)$ is called a…

Building upon previous works of Andr{\'e} and Chudnovsky, we prove a general result concerning the approximations of values at rational points a/b of any G-function F with rational Taylor coefficients by fractions of the form n/(B…

In an earlier work, joint with R. Kenyon, we computed the Hausdorff dimension of the "multiplicative golden mean shift" defined as the set of all reals in [0,1] whose binary expansion (x_k) satisfies x_k x_{2k}=0 for all k=1,2... Here we…

We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…

Let s be an integer greater than or equal to 2. A real number is simply normal to base s if in its base-s expansion every digit 0, 1, ..., s-1 occurs with the same frequency 1/s. Let X be the set of positive integers that are not perfect…

Let $A$ be a non-zero positive bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert space $(\mathcal{H},\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle)$. Let $\omega_A(T)$ denote the $A$-numerical radius of an operator $T$ acting on the semi-Hilbert space…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the "multiplicative golden mean shift" defined as the set of all reals in $[0,1]$ whose binary expansion $(x_k)$ satisfies $x_k x_{2k}=0$ for all $k\ge 1$, and show that it is smaller than the Minkowski…

Let $\sum\_{n=0}^\infty a\_n z^n\in \overline{\mathbb Q}[[z]]$ be a $G$-function, and, for any $n\ge0$, let $\delta\_n\ge 1$ denote the least integer such that $\delta\_n a\_0, \delta\_n a\_1, ..., \delta\_n a\_n$ are all algebraic…

The set of unique $\beta$-expansions over the alphabet $\{0,1\}$ is trivial for $\beta$ below the golden ratio and uncountable above the Komornik-Loreti constant. Generalisations of these thresholds for three-letter alphabets were studied…

The paper presents a fully explicit algorithm for monotone variational inequalities. The method uses variable stepsizes that are computed using two previous iterates as an approximation of the local Lipschitz constant without running a…

The arithmetic regularity lemma due to Green [GAFA 2005] is an analogue of the famous Szemer{\'e}di regularity lemma in graph theory. It shows that for any abelian group $G$ and any bounded function $f:G \to [0,1]$, there exists a subgroup…

It is well known that the Bernoulli convolution $\nu_{\beta}$ associated to the golden mean has Hausdorff dimension less than 1, i.e. that there exists a set $A$ with $\nu_{\beta}(A)=1$ and $dim_H(A)<1$. We construct such a set $A$…

We prove that the Birkhoff sum S(n)/n = (1/n) sum_(k=1)^(n-1) g(k A) with g(x) = cot(Pi x) and golden ratio A converges in the sense that the sequence of functions s(x) = S([ x q(2n)])/q(2n) with Fibonacci numbers q(n) converges to a self…

For a real c\`{a}dl\`{a}g function f and a positive constant c we find another c\`{a}dl\`{a}g function, which has the smallest total variation pos- sible among all functions uniformly approximating f with accuracy c/2. The solution is…

Much has been written about the golden ratio $\phi=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ and this strange number appears mysteriously in many mathematical calculations. In this article, we review the appearance of this number in the graph theory. More…

We fix a positive integer $M$, and we consider expansions in arbitrary real bases $q>1$ over the alphabet $\{0,1,...,M\}$. We denote by $U_q$ the set of real numbers having a unique expansion. Completing many former investigations, we give…
