Although the representation of the real numbers in terms of a base and a set of digits has a long history, new questions arise even in simple situations. This paper concerns binary radix systems, i.e., positional number systems with digits…

Literature considers under the name \emph{unimaginable numbers} any positive integer going beyond any physical application, with this being more of a vague description of what we are talking about rather than an actual mathematical…

Let the base $\beta$ be a complex number, $|\beta|>1$, and let $A \subset \C$ be a finite alphabet of digits. The \emph{$A$-spectrum} of $\beta$ is the set $S_{A}(\beta) = \{\sum_{k=0}^n a_k\beta^k \mid n \in \mathbb{N}, \ a_k \in {A}\}$.…

In a multi-base representation of an integer (in contrast to, for example, the binary or decimal representation) the base (or radix) is replaced by products of powers of single bases. The resulting numeral system has desirable properties…

We consider digital expansions to the base of $\tau$, where $\tau$ is an algebraic integer. For a $w \geq 2$, the set of admissible digits consists of 0 and one representative of every residue class modulo $\tau^w$ which is not divisible by…

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…
