On some new arithmetic properties of the generalized Lucas sequences
Some arithmetic properties of the generalized Lucas sequences are studied, extending a number of recent results obtained for Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, and Pell–Lucas sequences. These properties are then applied to investigate certain notions of Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, and Pell–Lucas pseudoprimality, for which we formulate some conjectures.N/
Arithmetic Dynamics
This survey paper is aimed to describe a relatively new branch of symbolic
dynamics which we call Arithmetic Dynamics. It deals with explicit arithmetic
expansions of reals and vectors that have a "dynamical" sense. This means
precisely that they (semi-) conjugate a given continuous (or
measure-preserving) dynamical system and a symbolic one. The classes of
dynamical systems and their codings considered in the paper involve: (1)
Beta-expansions, i.e., the radix expansions in non-integer bases; (2)
"Rotational" expansions which arise in the problem of encoding of irrational
rotations of the circle; (3) Toral expansions which naturally appear in
arithmetic symbolic codings of algebraic toral automorphisms (mostly
hyperbolic).
We study ergodic-theoretic and probabilistic properties of these expansions
and their applications. Besides, in some cases we create "redundant"
representations (those whose space of "digits" is a priori larger than
necessary) and study their combinatorics.Comment: 45 pages in Latex + 3 figures in ep
The real numbers - a survey of constructions
We present a comprehensive survey of constructions of the real numbers (from
either the rationals or the integers) in a unified fashion, thus providing an
overview of most (if not all) known constructions ranging from the earliest
attempts to recent results, and allowing for a simple comparison-at-a-glance
between different constructions
