On an approximation property of Pisot numbers II

Toufik Zaïmi (2004)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let q be a complex number, m be a positive rational integer and l m ( q ) = inf { P ( q ) , P m [ X ] , P ( q ) 0 } , where m [ X ] denotes the set of polynomials with rational integer coefficients of absolute value m . We determine in this note the maximum of the quantities l m ( q ) when q runs through the interval ] m , m + 1 [ . We also show that if q is a non-real number of modulus > 1 , then q is a complex Pisot number if and only if l m ( q ) > 0 for all m .

On gaps in Rényi β -expansions of unity for β > 1 an algebraic number

Jean-Louis Verger-Gaugry (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let β > 1 be an algebraic number. We study the strings of zeros (“gaps”) in the Rényi β -expansion   d β ( 1 ) of unity which controls the set β of β -integers. Using a version of Liouville’s inequality which extends Mahler’s and Güting’s approximation theorems, the strings of zeros in d β ( 1 ) are shown to exhibit a “gappiness” asymptotically bounded above by   log ( M ( β ) ) / log ( β ) , where   M ( β )   is the Mahler measure of   β . The proof of this result provides in a natural way a new classification of algebraic numbers > 1 with classes called Q...

On multiplicatively dependent linear numeration systems, and periodic points

Christiane Frougny (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Two linear numeration systems, with characteristic polynomial equal to the minimal polynomial of two Pisot numbers β and γ respectively, such that β and γ are multiplicatively dependent, are considered. It is shown that the conversion between one system and the other one is computable by a finite automaton. We also define a sequence of integers which is equal to the number of periodic points of a sofic dynamical system associated with some Parry number.

On the heights of totally p -adic numbers

Paul Fili (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Bombieri and Zannier established lower and upper bounds for the limit infimum of the Weil height in fields of totally p -adic numbers and generalizations thereof. In this paper, we use potential theoretic techniques to generalize the upper bounds from their paper and, under the assumption of integrality, to improve slightly upon their bounds.

On the limit points of the fractional parts of powers of Pisot numbers

Artūras Dubickas (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider the sequence of fractional parts { ξ α n } , n = 1 , 2 , 3 , , where α > 1 is a Pisot number and ξ ( α ) is a positive number. We find the set of limit points of this sequence and describe all cases when it has a unique limit point. The case, where ξ = 1 and the unique limit point is zero, was earlier described by the author and Luca, independently.
