Abstract: Let . Each can be represented in the form [ x=sum_{k=1}^infty epsilon_k�eta^{-k}, ] where epsilonkin0,1 for all k (a -expansion of x). If , then, as is well known, there always exist which have a unique -expansion. In the present paper we study (purely) periodic unique -expansions and show that for each nge2 there exists such that there are no unique periodic -expansions of smallest period n for and at least one such expansion for . Furthermore, we prove that if and only if k is less than m in the sense of the Sharkovskiu{i} ordering. We give two proofs of this result, one of which is independent, and the other one links it to the dynamics of a family of trapezoidal maps.
