Abstract/Summary

It is a well known result that for β ∈ (1,1+√52) and x ∈ (0,1β−1) there exists uncountably many (ǫi)∞i=1 ∈ {0,1}N such that x = P∞i=1ǫiβ−i. When β ∈ (1+√52,2] there exists x ∈ (0,1β−1) for which there exists a unique (ǫi)∞i=1 ∈ {0,1}N such that x=P∞i=1ǫiβ−i. In this paper we consider the more general case when our sequences are elements of {0, . . . , m}N. We show that an analogue of the golden ratio exists and give an explicit formula for it.
