Generating functions for the digital sum and other digit counting sequences.
We investigate in a geometrical way the point sets of obtained by the -numeration that are the -integers where is a Perron number. We show that there exist two canonical cut-and-project schemes associated with the -numeration, allowing to lift up the -integers to some points of the lattice ( degree of ) lying about the dominant eigenspace of the companion matrix of . When is in particular a Pisot number, this framework gives another proof of the fact that is...
We consider positional numeration systems with negative real base , where , and study the extremal representations in these systems, called here the greedy and lazy representations. We give algorithms for determination of minimal and maximal -representation with respect to the alternate order. We also show that both extremal representations can be obtained as representations in the positive base with a non-integer alphabet. This enables us to characterize digit sequences admissible as greedy...
