    Finite beta-expansions with negative bases

    Full text link
    The finiteness property is an important arithmetical property of beta-expansions. We exhibit classes of Pisot numbers β\beta having the negative finiteness property, that is the set of finite (β)(-\beta)-expansions is equal to Z[β1]\mathbb{Z}[\beta^{-1}]. For a class of numbers including the Tribonacci number, we compute the maximal length of the fractional parts arising in the addition and subtraction of (β)(-\beta)-integers. We also give conditions excluding the negative finiteness property
