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.
