A two-dimensional univoque set

Abstract: Let

m a t h b f J s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{2}

be the set of couples

(x, q)

with

q > 1

such that

x

has at least one representation of the form

x = s u m_{i = 1}^{i n f t y} c_{i} q^{- i}

with integer coefficients

c_{i}

satisfying

0 l e q c_{i} < q

,

i g e 1

. In this case we say that

(c_{i}) = c_{1} c_{2} ...

is an expansion of

x

in base

q

. Let

m a t h b f U

be the set of couples

(x, q) i n m a t h b f J

such that

x

has exactly one expansion in base

q

. In this paper we deduce some topological and combinatorial properties of the set

m a t h b f U

. We characterize the closure of

m a t h b f U

, and we determine its Hausdorff dimension. For

(x, q) i n m a t h b f J

, we also prove new properties of the lexicographically largest expansion of

x

in base

q

.
