Rational matrix digit systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let A be a dimesd matrix with rational entries which has no eigenvalue lambdainmathbbC of absolute value |lambda|<1 and let mathbbZd[A] be the smallest nontrivial A-invariant mathbbZ-module. We lay down a theoretical framework for the construction of digit systems (A,mathcalD), where mathcalDsubsetmathbbZd[A] finite, that admit finite expansions of the form [ mathbf{x}= mathbf{d}_0 + A mathbf{d}_1 + cdots + A^{ell-1}mathbf{d}_{ell-1} qquad(ellin mathbb{N},;mathbf{d}_0,ldots,mathbf{d}_{ell-1} in mathcal{D}) ] for every element mathbfxinmathbbZd[A]. We put special emphasis on the explicit computation of small digit sets mathcalD that admit this property for a given matrix A, using techniques from matrix theory, convex geometry, and the Smith Normal Form. Moreover, we provide a new proof of general results on this finiteness property and recover analogous finiteness results for digit systems in number fields a unified way.
