Let $\beta>1$. For $x \in [0,\infty)$, we have so-called the $\beta$-expansion of $x$ in base $\beta$ as follows: $$x= \sum_{j \leq k} x_{j}\beta^{j} = x_{k}\beta^{k}+ \cdots + x_{1}\beta+x_{0}+x_{-1}\beta^{-1} + x_{-2}\beta^{-2} + \cdots$$…
The $(-\beta)$-integers are natural generalisations of the $\beta$-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. When $\beta$ is the analogue of a Parry number, we describe the structure of the set of $(-\beta)$-integers by a…
Given a nonnegative integer $m$ and a finite collection ${\mathcal A}$ of linear forms on ${\mathbb Q}^d$, the arrangement of affine hyperplanes in ${\mathbb Q}^d$ defined by the equations $\alpha(x) = k$ for $\alpha \in {\mathcal A}$ and…
The finiteness property is an important arithmetical property of beta-expansions. We exhibit classes of Pisot numbers $\beta$ having the negative finiteness property, that is the set of finite $(-\beta)$-expansions is equal to…
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 $\alpha>1$, set $\beta=1/(\alpha-1)$. We show that, for every $1<\alpha<(\sqrt{21}+4)/5\approx1.717$, the number of pairs $(m,n)$ of positive integers with $d=\lfloor{n^\alpha}\rfloor - \lfloor{m^\alpha}\rfloor$ is equal to…
We introduce the \emph{Parry order} $\mathrm{Ord}_P(\beta)$, defined as the largest integer $n$ for which $\beta^n$ is a Parry number. This leads to a natural partition of the set of Perron numbers as follows: \[ \mathcal{P} = \left(…
Given a totally finite ordered alphabet $ A $, endowing the set of words over $ A $ with the alternating lexicographic order, we define a new class of Lyndon words. We study the fundamental properties of the associated symbolic dynamical…
The statistical properties of spectra of quantum systems within the framework of random matrix theory is widely used in many areas of physics. These properties are affected, if two or more sets of spectra are superposed, resulting from the…
Let $B_{n}(t)$ be the $n$th Stern polynomial, i.e., the $n$th term of the sequence defined recursively as $B_{0}(t)=0, B_{1}(t)=1$ and $B_{2n}(t)=tB_{n}(t), B_{2n+1}(t)=B_{n}(t)+B_{n-1}(t)$ for $n\in\N$. It is well know that $i$th…
Let $\beta \equiv \{ \beta_\mathbf{i} \}_{\mathbf{i} \in \mathbb{Z}_+^d}$ be a $d$-dimensional multisequence. Curto and Fialkow, have shown that if the infinite moment matrix $M(\beta)$ is finite-rank positive semidefinite, then $\beta$ has…
We study the 'bad science matrix problem': among all matrices $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ whose rows have unit $\ell_2$-norm, determine the maximum of $\beta(A)=\frac{1}{2^n}\sum_{x\in\{\pm1\}^n}\|Ax\|_\infty$. Steinerberger [1]…
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…
We investigate combinatorial properties of a kind of insets we defined in an earlier paper, interpreting them now in terms of restricted ternary words. This allows us to give new combinatorial interpretations of a number of known integer…
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…
Consider $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\beta \in (1, m + 1]$. Assume that $a\in \mathbb{R}$ can be represented in base $\beta$ using a development in series $a = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 1}x(n)\beta^{-n}$ where the sequence $x = (x(n))_{n \in…
It is shown that for finding rational approximates to m'th root of any integer to any accuracy one only needs the ability to count and to distinguish between m different classes of objects. To every integer N can be associated a…
The property of balance (in the sense of Feder and Mihail) is investigated in the context of paving matroids. The following examples are exhibited: (a) a class of ``sparse'' paving matroids that are balanced, but at the same time rich…
We present a complete characterization of two different non-integers with the same R\'{e}nyi-Parry measure. We prove that for two non-integers $\beta_1 ,\beta_2 >1$, the R\'{e}nyi-Parry measures coincide if and only if $\beta_1$ is the root…
Given two finite sequences of positive integers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, we associate a square free monomial ideal $I_{\alpha,\beta}$ in a ring of polynomials $S$, and we recursively compute the algebraic invariants of $S/I_{\alpha,\beta}$.…
