Let $\E$ be a commutative ring with identity and $P\in\E[x]$ be a polynomial. In the present paper we consider digit representations in the residue class ring $\E[x]/(P)$. In particular, we are interested in the question whether each…

Let $\Sigma_d^{++}$ be the set of positive definite matrices with determinant 1 in dimension $d\ge 2$. Identifying any two $SL_d(\mathbb{Z})$-congruent elements in $\Sigma_d^{++}$ gives rise to the space of reduced quadratic forms of…

For a natural number d and a d-dimensional real vector r let Tau(r) denote the (d-dimensional) shift radix system associated with r. Tau(r) is said to have the finiteness property iff all orbits of Tau(r) end up in the zero vector; the set…

Given $\beta\in\mathbb{Z}[i]$ with $|\beta|>1$ and a finite set $D\subset\mathbb{Q}(i)$, let \[K_{\beta, D}=\left\{\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\frac{d_j}{\beta^j}: d_j\in D, \forall j\geq 1\right\}.\] Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a finite set of…

The aim of the article is to show that there are many finite extensions of arithmetic groups which are not residually finite. Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the rational numbers satisfying both strong approximation, and the…

In this work, we consider $\mathbb{Z}^d$-shifts generated by digit substitutions. For such a shift $\mathbb{X}$, we study the elements of the normaliser of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in the group of self homeomorphisms (called extended symmetries)…

The existence of unimodular forms with small norms on sequence spaces is crucial in a variety of problems in modern analysis. We prove that the infimum of $\left\Vert A\right\Vert $ over all unimodular $d$-linear (complex or real) forms $A$…

We define a compact local Smith-McMillan form of a rational matrix $R(\lambda)$ as the diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the nonzero entries of a local Smith-McMillan form of $R(\lambda)$. We show that a recursive rank search…

Let $A$ be a $d\times n$ integer matrix whose column vectors generate the lattice $\Z^d$, and let $D(R_A)$ be the ring of differential operators on the affine toric variety defined by $A$. We show that the classification of…

We present a generic digit serial method (DSM) to compute the digits of a real number $V$ . Bounds on these digits, and on the errors in the associated estimates of $V$ formed from these digits, are derived. To illustrate our results, we…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a finite set of closed rational points in projective space, let $\mathscr{I}$ be the vanishing ideal of $\mathscr{A}$, and let $\mathscr{D}(\mathscr{A})$ be the set of exponents of those monomials which do not occur as…

Let $T(A,\mathcal{D})$ be a self-affine set generated by an expanding matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} p & 0\cr -a & q \end{array}\right]$ and a product digit set $\mathcal{D}=\{0,1,\dots,m-1\}\times \{0,1,\dots,n-1\}$. We provide a…

For a commutative finite $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra, i.e., for a commutative ring $R$ whose additive group is finitely generated, it is known that the group of units of $R$ is finitely generated, as well. Our main results are algorithms to…

We revisit the concept of a minimal basis through the lens of the theory of modules over a commutative ring $R$. We first review the conditions for the existence of a basis for submodules of $R^n$ where $R$ is a B\'{e}zout domain. Then, we…

Let $L=(L_d)_{d \in \mathbb N}$ be any ordered probability sequence, i.e., satisfying $0 < L_{d+1} \le L_d$ for each $d \in \mathbb N$ and $\sum_{d \in \mathbb N} L_d =1$. We construct sequences $A = (a_i)_{i \in \mathbb N}$ on the…

Let $d\ge 1$ be an integer and ${\bf r}=(r_0,\dots,r_{d-1}) \in \mathbf{R}^d$. The {\em shift radix system} $\tau_\mathbf{r}: \mathbb{Z}^d \to \mathbb{Z}^d$ is defined by $$ \tau_{{\bf r}}({\bf z})=(z_1,\dots,z_{d-1},-\lfloor {\bf r} {\bf…

Let $(R, \mf, k_R)$ be regular local $k$-algebra satisfying the weak Jacobian criterion, such that $k_R/k$ is an algebraic field extension. Let $D_R$ be the ring of $k$-linear differential operators of $R$. We give an explicit decomposition…

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…
