Matching refers to the property that there is an $n \\in \\mathbb N$ such that $T_\\alpha^n(0) = T_\\alpha^n(1)$. We show that for various Pisot numbers $\\beta$, matching occurs on an open dense set of $\\alpha \\in [0,1]$ and we compute the Hausdorff dimension of its complement. Numerical evidence shows more cases where matching is prevalent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-06T13:49:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E10", "11R06", "37E05", "37E45", "37A45" ], "keywords": [ "transformations", "open dense set", "pisot numbers", "hausdorff dimension", "matching occurs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
