Beta expansion of Salem numbers approaching Pisot numbers with the finiteness property

Hachem Hichri (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

It is already known that all Pisot numbers are beta numbers, but for Salem numbers this was proved just for the degree 4 case. In 1945, R. Salem showed that for any Pisot number θ we can construct a sequence of Salem numbers which converge to θ. In this short note, we give some results on the beta expansion for infinitely many sequences of Salem numbers obtained by this construction.

On terms of linear recurrence sequences with only one distinct block of digits

Diego Marques, Alain Togbé (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 2000, Florian Luca proved that F₁₀ = 55 and L₅ = 11 are the largest numbers with only one distinct digit in the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, respectively. In this paper, we find terms of a linear recurrence sequence with only one block of digits in its expansion in base g ≥ 2. As an application, we generalize Luca's result by finding the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers with only one distinct block of digits of length up to 10 in its decimal expansion.

The positivity problem for fourth order linear recurrence sequences is decidable

Pinthira Tangsupphathawat, Narong Punnim, Vichian Laohakosol (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem whether each element of a sequence satisfying a fourth order linear recurrence with integer coefficients is nonnegative, referred to as the Positivity Problem for fourth order linear recurrence sequence, is shown to be decidable.
