Abstract: Let $I=[0,1)$, $bin2,3,ldots$ and $f:IoI$ be an injective piecewise $frac1b$-affine map, that is, assume that there exists a partition of $I$ into intervals $I_1,ldots,I_n$ such that $vertf(x)-f(y)vertlefrac1bvertx-yvert$ for all $x,yin{I}_i$ and $1leilen$. In this note, we study the $delta$-parameter family of maps $f_{delta}=R_{delta}circf$, where $R_{d}elta:xmapstox+delta$. More precisely, we show that the set $mathcalN$ of parameters $delta$ for which $f_{delta}$ has only natural codings with maximal complexity is a non-empty set with Hausdorff mbox{dimension $0$}. We also show that for all $deltainmathcalN$, the map $f_{delta}$ is topologically semiconjugate to a minimal $n$-interval exchange transformation satisfying Keane's i.d.o.c. condition. The main result turns out to be a concrete application of the result by Mauduit and Moreira that the set of numbers having $b$-adic expansion with entropy $0$ has Hausdorff dimension $0$.
