Almost everywhere balanced sequences of complexity $2n+1$
Abstract
We study ternary sequences associated with a multidimensional continued fraction algorithm introduced by the first author. The algorithm is defined by two matrices and we show that it is measurably isomorphic to the shift on the set of directive sequences. For a given set of two substitutions, we show that there exists a -adic sequence for every vector of letter frequencies or, equivalently, for every directive sequence. We show that their factor complexity is at most and is if and only if the letter frequencies are rationally independent if and only if the -adic representation is primitive. It turns out that in this case, the sequences are dendric. We also prove that -almost every -adic sequence is balanced, where is any shift-invariant ergodic Borel probability measure on giving a positive measure to the cylinder . We also prove that the second Lyapunov exponent of the matrix cocycle associated with the measure is negative.
