Completely semi-affine maps and braidings. (Q847085)

This note completes an earlier paper of the author with \textit{A. Necer} and \textit{A. Salinier} [''Endomorphisms of algebras of sequences.'' J. Théor. Nombres Bordx. 20, No. 1, 1--21 (2008; Zbl 1211.11014)]. Let \(d\in\mathbb{N}^*\), \(a=(a_i)_{0\leq i<d}\in\mathbb{N}^d\) and \(b=(b_i)_{0\leq i<d}\in\mathbb{Z}^d\). A purely semi-affine map \(\phi_{(d,a,b)}:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\), is defined by \(\phi_{(d,a,b)}(n)=a_r[{n\over d}]+b_r\), \(r=d\{{n\over d}\}\). The first result of the paper shows that the composite of two purely semi-affine maps is purely semi-affine. The author defines the braiding map which is a certain composition of interlacing, permutation, shift and decimation. The second result shows that the composite of two braidings is a braiding.
