We study the Cantor real base numeration system which is a common generalization of two positional systems, namely the Cantor system with a sequence of integer bases and the R\'enyi system with one real base. We focus on the so-called…

We introduce and study series expansions of real numbers with an arbitrary Cantor real base $\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, which we call $\boldsymbol{\beta}$-representations. In doing so, we generalize both representations…

For alternate Cantor real base numeration systems we generalize the result of Frougny and~Solomyak on~arithmetics on the set of numbers with finite expansion. We provide a class of alternate bases which satisfy the so-called finiteness…

Among all positional numeration systems, the widely studied Bertrand numeration systems are defined by a simple criterion in terms of their numeration languages. In 1989, Bertrand-Mathis characterized them via representations in a real base…

Representing real numbers using convenient numeration systems (integer bases, $\beta$-numeration, Cantor bases, etc.) has been a longstanding mathematical challenge. This paper focuses on Cantor real bases and, specifically, on automatic…

The seminal theorem of Cobham has given rise during the last 40 years to a lot of works around non-standard numeration systems and has been extended to many contexts. In this paper, as a result of fifteen years of improvements, we obtain a…

The first aim of this article is to give information about the algebraic properties of alternate bases $\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_0,\dots,\beta_{p-1})$ determining sofic systems. We show that a necessary condition is that the product…

In this paper, we consider the positional numeration system, called the Cantor real expansion, on the unit interval $[\gamma, \gamma+1]$, where $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$, with respect to an alternate base (i.e., a base which is a purely…

In this paper we study the expansions of real numbers in positive and negative real base as introduced by R\'enyi, and Ito & Sadahiro, respectively. In particular, we compare the sets $\mathbb{Z}_\beta^+$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{-\beta}$ of…

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…

In this paper, we study representations of real numbers in the positional numeration system with negative basis, as introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. We focus on the set $\Z_{-\beta}$ of numbers whose representation uses only non-negative…

Positional numeration systems are a large family of numeration systems used to represent natural numbers. Whether the set of all representations forms a regular language or not is one of the most important questions that can be asked of…

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 article is devoted to the alternating Cantor series. It is proved that any real number belonging to $[a_0-1;a_0]$, where $a_0=\sum^{\infty} _{k=1} {\frac{d_{2k}-1}{d_1d_2...d_{2k}}} $, has no more than two representations by the series…

The lazy algorithm for a real base $\beta$ is generalized to the setting of Cantor bases $\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ introduced recently by Charlier and the author. To do so, let $x_{\boldsymbol{\beta}}$ be the greatest…
