Further Information

We consider positional numeration system with negative base ―β, as introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. In particular, we focus on arithmetical properties of such systems when β is a quadratic Pisot number. We study a class of roots β > 1 of polynomials x2 ― mx ― n, m > n ≥ 1, and show that in this case the set Fin(―β) of finite (―β)-expansions is closed under addition, although it is not closed under subtraction. A particular example is β = T = 1/2(1 + √5), the golden ratio. For such β, we determine the exact bound on the number of fractional digits appearing in arithmetical operations. We also show that the set of (-T)-integers coincides on the positive half-line with the set of (τ2)-integers.
