Determinants of Legendre symbol matrices
Let M ∈ Mₙ(ℤ) be expanding such that |det(M)| = p is a prime and pℤⁿ ⊈ M²(ℤⁿ). Let D ⊂ ℤⁿ be a finite set with |D| = |det(M)|. Suppose the attractor T(M,D) of the iterated function system has positive Lebesgue measure. We prove that (i) if D ⊈ M(ℤⁿ), then D is a complete set of coset representatives of ℤⁿ/M(ℤⁿ); (ii) if D ⊆ M(ℤⁿ), then there exists a positive integer γ such that , where D₀ is a complete set of coset representatives of ℤⁿ/M(ℤⁿ). This improves the corresponding results of Kenyon,...
We consider the -ary digital expansion of the first terms of an exponential sequence . Using a result due to Kiss and Tichy [8], we prove that the average number of occurrences of an arbitrary digital block in the last digits is asymptotically equal to the expected value. Under stronger assumptions we get a similar result for the first digits, where is a positive constant. In both methods, we use estimations of exponential sums and the concept of discrepancy of real sequences modulo ...
In this paper the special diophantine equation with integer coefficients is discussed and integer solutions are sought. This equation is solved completely just for four prime divisors of .
We introduce two-dimensional substitutions generating two-dimensional sequences related to discrete approximations of irrational planes. These two-dimensional substitutions are produced by the classical Jacobi-Perron continued fraction algorithm, by the way of induction of a -action by rotations on the circle. This gives a new geometric interpretation of the Jacobi-Perron algorithm, as a map operating on the parameter space of -actions by rotations.
