Note on totally real Pisot-numbers in the successive derived sets of Pisot-numbers. (Q1582285)

The author studies totally real Pisot-numbers \(\theta\) in the \(k\)th successive derived sets \(S^{(k)}\) of Pisot numbers \(S\). Now let \(k_\theta\) be the largest integer \(k\) such that \(\theta \in S^ {(k)}\). Then there is a constant \(c_d \geq 1.1892\) such that if \(\theta\) is a totally real Pisot number of degree \(d\), then \(k_\theta \geq \lfloor c_d^ {d-1} \rfloor\). If \(d\) is sufficiently large, then \(c_d \geq 1.2395\).
