Non-standard number representation: computer arithmetic, beta-numeration and quasicrystals
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this survey is to present the main concepts and results in non-standard number representation, and to give some examples of practical applications. This domain lies at the interface between discrete mathematics (dynamical systems, number theory, combinatorics) and computer science (computer arithmetic, cryptography, coding theory, algorithms). It also plays an important role in the modelization of physical structures like quasicrystals.

Occurrence and Lexicographic Properties of Standard Sturmian Words
Standard Sturmian words form an interesting class of structurally highly compressible strings. represented by simple recurrences. We show that simplicity of representation implies new algorithmic results: the compressed string matching for such words can be solved by very special algorithms and the output is simply characterized. Each standard Sturmian word w has Occurrence Shift Property: the ...
متن کاملRepresentation of numbers in nonclassical numeration systems
Numeration systems the basis of which is defined b y a linear recurrence with integer coeficients are considered. W e give conditions on the recurrence under which the function of normalization which transforms any representation of an integer into the normal one obtained by the usual algorithm can be realized b y a finite automaton. Addition i s a particular case of normalization. The same que...
متن کاملTilings Associated with Beta-numeration and Substitutions
This paper surveys different constructions and properties of some multiple tilings (that is, finite-to-one coverings) of the space that can be associated with beta-numeration and substitutions. It is indeed possible, generalizing Rauzy’s and Thurston’s constructions, to associate in a natural way either with a Pisot number β (of degree d) or with a Pisot substitution σ (on d letters) some compa...

متن کاملA Decision Problem for Ultimately Periodic Sets in Non-standard Numeration Systems
Consider a non-standard numeration system like the one built over the Fibonacci sequence where nonnegative integers are represented by words over {0, 1} without two consecutive 1. Given a set X of integers such that the language of their greedy representations in this system is accepted by a finite automaton, we consider the problem of deciding whether or not X is a finite union of arithmetic p...
