Résumé : Given $x\in(0, 1]$, let ${\mathcal U}(x)$ be the set of bases $\beta\in(1,2]$ for which there exists a unique sequence $(d_i)$ of zeros and ones such that $x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}{{d_i}/{\beta^i}}$. In 2014, Lü, Tan and Wu proved that ${\mathcal U}(x)$ is a Lebesgue null set of full Hausdorff dimension. In this talk, we will show that the algebraic sum ${\mathcal U}(x)+\lambda {\mathcal U}(x)$, and the product ${\mathcal U}(x)\cdot {\mathcal U}(x)^{\lambda}$ contain an interval for all $x\in (0, 1]$ and $\lambda\ne 0$. As an application we show that the same phenomenon occurs for the set of non-matching parameters associated with the family of symmetric binary expansions studied recently by the first speaker and C. Kalle.
This is joint work with V. Komornik, D. Kong and W. Li.
