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…

Let $f\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be an arithmetic function and consider the Beatty set $\mathcal{B}(\alpha) = \lbrace\, \lfloor n\alpha \rfloor : n\in\mathbb{N} \,\rbrace$ associated to a real number $\alpha$, where…

A generalized Beatty sequence is a sequence $V$ defined by $V(n)=p\lfloor{n\alpha}\rfloor+qn +r$, for $n=1,2,\dots$, where $\alpha$ is a real number, and $p,q,r$ are integers. These occur in several problems, as for instance in homomorphic…

For a positive irrational number $\alpha,$ we study the ordinary Dirichlet series $\zeta_\alpha(s) = \sum\limits_{n\geq1} \lfloor\alpha n\rfloor^{-s}$ and $S_\alpha(s) = \sum\limits_{n\geq1} (\left\lceil\alpha n\right\rceil - \left\lceil…

Let $\beta$ be a non-unit real algebraic integer greater than one and $\{a_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$ be a sequence satisfying a linear recurrence relation $a_{n+3}=aa_{n+2}+ba_{n+1}+ca_{n}$. Under certain conditions, we prove that the number of…

We study the problem of representing integers as sums of prime numbers from a fixed Beatty sequence $B_{\alpha,\beta}$, where $\alpha>1$ is irrational and of finite type.

The theory of $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{Z} a)$ is decidable if $a$ is quadratic. If $a$ is the golden ratio, $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{Z} a)$ defines multiplication by $a$. The results are established by using the…

We study arithmetical and combinatorial properties of $\beta$-integers for $\beta$ being the root of the equation $x^2=mx-n, m,n \in \mathbb N, m \geq n+2\geq 3$. We determine with the accuracy of $\pm 1$ the maximal number of…

Let $\alpha,\beta$ be real numbers and $b\geq2$ be an integer. Allouche and Shallit showed that the sequence $\{\lfloor\alpha n+\beta\rfloor\}_{n\geq0}$ is $b$-regular if and only if $\alpha$ is rational. In this paper, using a…

We characterize all the pairs of complementary non-homogenous Beatty sequences $(A_n)_{n\ge 0}$ and $(B_n)_{n\ge 0}$ for which there exists an invariant game having exactly $\{(A_n,B_n)\mid n\ge 0\}\cup \{(B_n,A_n)\mid n\ge 0\}$ as set of…

This paper presents a new proof that if k^alpha is irrational then the sequence floor(alpha + log_k(n)) is not k-regular. Unlike previous proofs, the methods used do not rely on automata or language theoretic concepts. The paper also proves…

We show that for a fixed integer $n \neq \pm2$, the congruence $x^2 + nx \pm 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{\alpha}$ has the solution $\beta$ with $0 < \beta < \alpha$ if and only if $\alpha/\beta$ has a continued fraction expansion with sequence of…

We study parallel algorithms for addition of numbers having finite representation in a positional numeration system defined by a base $\beta$ in $\mathbb{C}$ and a finite digit set $\mathcal{A}$ of contiguous integers containing $0$. For a…

For any $\varepsilon >0$, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions $n \le x$ to $$ \lVert \alpha n + \beta \rVert < x^{-\frac{1}{4}+\varepsilon} $$ where $n$ is $[y,z]$-smooth for infinitely many real number $x$. In…

Feng and Wang showed that two homogeneous iterated function systems in $\mathbb{R}$ with multiplicatively independent contraction ratios necessarily have different attractors. In this paper, we extend this result to graph directed iterated…

Hyperplane arrangements form the geometric counterpart of combinatorial objects such as matroids. The shape of the sequence of Betti numbers of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement is of particular interest in combinatorics, where…

A nondecreasing sequence of positive integers is $(\alpha,\beta)$-Conolly, or Conolly-like for short, if for every positive integer $m$ the number of times that $m$ occurs in the sequence is $\alpha + \beta r_m$, where $r_m$ is $1$ plus the…
