This text is devoted to simultaneous approximation to $\xi$ and $\xi^2$ by rational numbers with the same denominator, where $\xi$ is a non-quadratic real number. We focus on an exponent $\beta_0(\xi)$ that measures the quality of such…

We prove absolute regularity ($\beta$-mixing) for nonstationary and multivariate versions of two popular classes of integer-valued processes. We show how this result can be used to prove asymptotic normality of a least squares estimator of…

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…

Let $\alpha>1$ be irrational and of finite type, $\beta\in\mathbb{R}$. In this paper, it is proved that for $R\geqslant13$ and any fixed $c\in(1,c_R)$, there exist infinitely many primes in the intersection of Beatty sequence…

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…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the arithmetical properties of values \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \beta^{-w(m)}\), where \(\beta\) is a fixed Pisot or Salem number and \(w(m)\) (\(m=0,1,\ldots\)) are distinct sequences of nonnegative…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of solutions $(m, n)\in \mathbb{N}^2$ to the inequality $ | \alpha^n - \beta^m | \leq x $ when $x$ tends to infinity. Here $\alpha, \beta$ are given multiplicatively independent…

The (-\beta)-integers are natural generalisations of the \beta-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. They can be described by infinite words which are fixed points of anti-morphisms. We show that they are not…

Let $(a_n), (b_n)$ be linear recursive sequences of integers with characteristic polynomials $A(X),B(X)\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ respectively. Assume that $A(X)$ has a dominating and simple real root $\alpha$, while $B(X)$ has a pair of conjugate…

We study the properties of the uncountable set of Stewart words. These are Toeplitz words specified by infinite sequences of Toeplitz patterns of the form $\alpha\beta\gamma$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ is any permutation of the symbols…

We consider numbers of the form $S_\beta(\boldsymbol{u}):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{u_n}{\beta^n}$ for $\boldsymbol{u}=\langle u_n \rangle_{n=0}^\infty$ a Sturmian sequence over a binary alphabet and $\beta$ an algebraic number with…

The beta transformation is the iterated map $\beta x\,\mod1$; it generates the base-$\beta$ expansion of a real number x. Every iterated piece-wise monotonic map is topologically conjugate to the beta transformation. For all but a countable…

Given $n$ positive integers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$, and a positive integer right hand side $\beta$, we consider the feasibility version of the subset sum problem which is the problem of determining whether a subset of $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$ adds…

We characterize all pairs $(\beta,n),(\beta^\prime,m)$ such that the alternate $(\beta,n)$ and $(\beta^\prime,m)$-transformations $K_{(\beta,n)}$ and $K_{(\beta^\prime,m)}$ have the same absolutely continuous invariant measure, where…

In this paper, we prove results on enumerations of sets of Rota-Baxter words in a finite number of generators and a finite number of unary operators. Rota-Baxter words are words formed by concatenating generators and images of words under…

We introduce iterated beta integrals, a new class of iterated integrals on the universal abelian covering of the punctured projective line that unifies hyperlogarithms and classical beta integrals while preserving their fundamental…

We consider continued fractions with partial quotients in the ring of integers of a quadratic number field $K$ and we prove a generalization to such continued fractions of the classical theorem of Lagrange. A particular example of these…
