Integers in number systems with positive and negative quadratic Pisot base
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
We consider numeration systems with base β and − β, for quadratic Pisot numbers β and focus on comparing the combinatorial structure of the sets Zβ and Z− β of numbers with integer expansion in base β, resp. − β. Our main result is the comparison of languages of infinite words uβ and u− β coding the ordering of distances between consecutive β- and (− β)-integers. It turns out that for a class of roots β of x2 − mx − m, the languages coincide, while for other quadratic Pisot numbers the language of uβ can be identified only with the language of a morphic image of u− β. We also study the group structure of (− β)-integers.
