We study some dynamical properties of the naturally ocurring subshift $(\\mathbf{V}_q, \\sigma)$. In particular, we characterise the set of bases $q \\subset (1,M+1]$ such that $(\\mathbf{V}_q, \\sigma)$ has the specification property and the set of bases $q \\in (1, M+1]$ such that $(\\mathbf{V}_q, \\sigma)$ is a synchronised subshift. Such properties are studied by analysing the combinatorial and dynamical properties of the quasi-greedy expansion of $q$. We also calculate the size of such classes giving similar results to those shown by Schmeling in (Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 17:675--694, 6 1997) in the context of $\\beta$-transformations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-20T03:48:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B10", "11A63", "37B40", "68R15" ], "keywords": [ "specification property", "synchronisation", "dynamical properties", "classes giving similar results", "real numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 44, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
