The (−β)-integers are natural generalisations of the β-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. When β is the analogue of a Parry number, we describe the structure of the set of (−β)-integers by a fixed point of an anti-morphism.
We address the problem to know whether the relation induced by a one-rule length-preserving rewrite system is rational. We partially answer to a conjecture of Éric Lilin who conjectured in 1991 that a one-rule length-preserving rewrite system is a rational transduction if and only if the left-hand side u and the right-hand side v of the rule of the system are not quasi-conjugate or are equal, that means if u and v are distinct, there do not exist words x, y and z such that u = xyz and v = zyx. We...
We study deterministic one-way communication complexity of functions with Hankel communication matrices. Some structural properties of such matrices are established and applied to the one-way two-party communication complexity of symmetric Boolean functions. It is shown that the number of required communication bits does not depend on the communication direction, provided that neither direction needs maximum complexity. Moreover, in order to obtain an optimal protocol, it is in any case sufficient...

On peut définir la pente d'un mot écrit avec des 0 et des 1 comme le nombre de 1 divisé par le nombre de 0, et généraliser cette définition aux mots de longueur infinie. Considérant le lien entre les mots de Christoffel et les fractions continues, on se propose d'étudier le comportement de tels mots lorsqu'on additionne leurs pentes, ou qu'on les multiplie par un entier positif. Après un bref exposé des différentes notions liées aux mots de Christoffel, l'étude de la somme et de la multiplication...
