Abstract: Much has been written about expansions of real numbers in noninteger bases. Particularly, for a finite alphabet 0,1,dots,alpha and a real number (base) , the so-called {em univoque set} of numbers which have a unique expansion in base has garnered a great deal of attention in recent years. Motivated by recent applications of -expansions to Bernoulli convolutions and a certain class of self-affine functions, we introduce the notion of a {em strongly univoque} set. We study in detail the set of numbers which are univoque but not strongly univoque. Our main result is that is nonempty if and only if the number 1 has a unique nonterminating expansion in base , and in that case, is uncountable. We give a sufficient condition for to have positive Hausdorff dimension, and show that, on the other hand, there are infinitely many values of for which is uncountable but of Hausdorff dimension zero.
