Metric inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on the field of formal Laurent series
We consider minimal redundant digit expansions in canonical number systems in the gaussian integers. In contrast to the case of rational integers, where the knowledge of the two least significant digits in the “standard” expansion suffices to calculate the least significant digit in a minimal redundant expansion, such a property does not hold in the gaussian numbers : We prove that there exist pairs of numbers whose non-redundant expansions agree arbitrarily well but which have different least significant...
