Numeration systems as dynamical systems -- introduction
Abstract
A numeration system originally implies a digitization of real numbers, but in this paper it rather implies a compactification of real numbers as a result of the digitization. By definition, a numeration system with $G$, where $G$ is a nontrivial closed multiplicative subgroup of ${\mathbb{R}}_+$, is a nontrivial compact metrizable space $Ω$ admitting a continuous $(λω+t)$-action of $(λ,t)\in G\times{\mathbb{R}}$ to $ω\inΩ$, such that the $(ω+t)$-action is strictly ergodic with the unique invariant probability measure $μ_Ω$, which is the unique $G$-invariant probability measure attaining the topological entropy $|\logλ|$ of the transformation $ω\mapstoλω$ for any $λ\ne 1$. We construct a class of numeration systems coming from weighted substitutions, which contains those coming from substitutions or $β$-expansions with algebraic $β$. It also contains those with $G={\mathbb{R}}_+$. We obtained an exact formula for the $ζ$-function of the numeration systems coming from weighted substitutions and studied the properties. We found a lot of applications of the numeration systems to the $β$-expansions, Fractal geometry or the deterministic self-similar processes which are seen in \cite{K4}. This paper is based on \cite{K3} changing the way of presentation. The complete version of this paper is in \cite{K4}.
