Numbers with integer expansion in the numeration system with negative base (Q1944657)

\textit{A. Rényi} has introduced expansions of real numbers by positive base \(\beta> 1\) [Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hung. 8, 477--493 (1957; Zbl 0079.08901)]. Next, \textit{S. Ito} and \textit{T. Sadahiro} [Integers 9, No. 3, 239--259, A22 (2009; Zbl 1191.11005)] generalized Rényi expansions for negative base \(-\beta< -1\). In the present paper, the authors continue the study of \textit{Ito} and \textit{Sadahiro} [loc. cit.], providing intrinsic properties, as for instance the description of the distances between consecutive \((-\beta)\)-integers. Furthermore, it is introduced an infinite word \(u_{-\beta}\) over a finite alphabet, which is invariant under a primitive morphism. Finally, in two examples of cubic Pisot numbers \(\beta\), the authors parallel the fractal tiles arising from \((-\beta)\)-expansions with the Rauzy fractal given by Rényi's \(\beta\)-expansions.
