Abstract: We prove that all algebraic bases $$ allow an eventually periodic representations of the elements of $$ with a finite alphabet of digits $mathcalA$. Moreover, the classification of bases allowing that those representations have the so-called weak greedy property is given. The decision problem whether a given pair $$ allows eventually periodic representations proves to be rather hard, for it is equivalent to a topological property of the attractor of an iterated function system.

Review text

Let \(\beta\) be an algebraic number satisfying \(|\beta|>1\), and let \(A\) be a finite set in \(\mathbb C\). Consider the set \(P_A(\beta)\) of all possible representations of the form \(\sum_{i=-L}^{\infty} a_i \beta^{-i}\), where each \(a_i\) belongs to \(A\), and the sequence \(a_{i}\), \(i=-L,-L+1,\dots\), is eventually periodic. In this paper the author shows that for each algebraic number \(\beta\) satisfying \(|\beta|>1\) there is a finite alphabet \(A \subset {\mathbb Z}\) such that \(P_A(\beta)={\mathbb Q}(\beta)\). He also describes \(\beta\) for which there are \(A \subset {\mathbb Q}(\beta)\) and \(c>0\) such that every \(x \in {\mathbb Q}(\beta)\) satisfying \(|x|<c\) can be represented as the element of \(P_A(\beta)\) with \(L=-1\) (so-called weak-greedy eventually periodic representations). These \(\beta\) are complex Pisot and complex Salem numbers. Some other results and several open questions are presented as well.
