Abstract:Properties of Pisot numbers have long been of interest. One line of questioning, initiated by Erdos, Joó and Komornik in 1990, is the determination of $l(q)$ for Pisot numbers $q$, where

begin{displaymath}l(q) = inf(vert yvert: y = epsilon_0 + epsilon_1 q^1 + cdots + epsilon_n q^n, epsilon_i in {pm 1, 0}, y neq 0).end{displaymath}

Although the quantity $l(q)$ is known for some Pisot numbers $q$, there has been no general method for computing $l(q)$. This paper gives such an algorithm. With this algorithm, some properties of $l(q)$ and its generalizations are investigated.

A related question concerns the analogy of $l(q)$, denoted $a(q)$, where the coefficients are restricted to $pm 1$; in particular, for which non-Pisot numbers is $a(q)$ nonzero? This paper finds an infinite class of Salem numbers where $a(q) neq 0$.

Keywords:Pisot numbers   LLL   spectrum   beta numbers
