Random \beta-expansions

From MaRDI portal





The authors define a random expansion in noninteger bases \(\beta> 1\). They start from the greedy map \(T_\beta\) (\(T_\beta x=\beta x\bmod1\) if \(0< x\leq 1\) and \(T_\beta x=\beta x- [\beta]\) if \(1< x\leq \frac{[\beta]}{\beta- 1}\)) and the lazy map \(S_\beta\) (\(\psi T_\beta= S_\beta\psi\), where \(\psi x=\frac{[\beta]}{\beta-1}- x\)). Let \(\omega\in\{0, 1\}^{\mathbb{N}}\) and \(\sigma\) the left shift, they define the random transformation by \[ \begin{aligned} K(\omega,x) &= (\omega, T_\beta x)\;\text{ if }T_\beta x= S_\beta(x),\\ &= (\sigma_\omega, S_\beta x)\text{ if }\omega_1= 1\text{ and }T_\beta x\neq S_\beta(x),\\ & =(\sigma_\omega, T_\beta x)\text{ if }\omega_1= 0\text{ and }T_\beta x\neq S_\beta(x).\end{aligned} \] The iterations of \(K\) give an expansion of \(x\) in base \(\beta\colon x=\sum^\infty_{i=1} \frac{d_i(\omega)}{\beta^i}\), where the \(d_i(\omega)\) are positive integers smaller than \([\beta]\). In the other sections of the paper, the authors study the dynamical properties of the map \(K\) for certain Pisot values of \(\beta\) (\(\beta^2= n\beta+ k\), \(1\leq k\leq n\) and \(n\geq 1\) or \(\beta^n- \beta^{n-1}-\cdots- \beta- 1=0\)). In these cases, they show that the dynamics of \(K\) is isomorphic to a mixing Markov chain.
