    On the structure of \((-\beta )\)-integers (English)

    Let \(\beta>1\) be a real number. \textit{S. Ito} and \textit{T. Sadahiro} [Integers 9, No. 3, 239--259, A22 (2009; Zbl 1191.11005)] introduced the \((-\beta)\) transformation defined on \([{-\beta\over\beta+1}, {1\over\beta+1})\) by \(x\mapsto -\beta x-\lfloor{\beta\over \beta+1}-\beta x\rfloor\). The set of \((-\beta)\)-integers is then defined as \({\mathbb Z}_{-\beta}=\bigcup_{n\geq 0}(-\beta)^n T_{-\beta}^{-n}(0)\).NEWLINENEWLINEIf \(\{ T_{-\beta}^n ({-\beta \over \beta+1}) \mid n\geq 0\}\) is a finite set, then \(\beta>1\) is called an Yrrap number (which is the analogue of Parry numbers in this context). For any Yrrap number \(\beta\geq (1+\sqrt{5})/2\), the sequence of \((-\beta)\)-integers and the set of distances between \((-\beta)\)-integers are described in terms of a two-sided infinite word on a finite alphabet which is a fixed point of an anti-morphism.
