Title: An excursion with beta-expansions


Abstract:

In this talk we give an overview of the various properties of expansions in non-integer base.
One important property is the non-uniqueness of the expansion.  We give various deterministic and random algorithms that generate such expansions, and we highlight their ergodic properties.  We end the talk with an amusing application in A/D conversion and fractal geometry.

Colloquium coordinators are Prof.dr. A.C.D. van Enter (e-mail : A.C.D.van.Enter@rug.nl) and

Dr. A.V. Kiselev (e-mail: a.v.kiselev rug.nl )
