We introduce a numeration system, called the <em>beta Cantor series expansion</em>, that generalizes the classical positive and negative beta expansions by allowing non-integer bases in the Q-Cantor series expansion. In particular, we show that for a fix $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ and a sequence $B=\{\beta_i\}$ of real number bases, every element of the interval $x \in [\gamma,\gamma+1)$ has a <em>beta Cantor series expansion</em> with respect to B where the digits are integers in some alphabet $\mathcal{A}(B)$. We give a criterion in determining whether an integer sequence is admissible when $B$ satisfies some condition. We provide a description of the reference strings, namely the expansion of $\gamma$ and $\gamma+1$, used in the admissibility criterion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
