Abstract

We study rational numbers with purely periodic Rényi $\beta$-expansions. For bases $\beta$ satisfying $\beta^2=a\beta+b$ with $b$ dividing $a$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for all rational numbers $p/q\in[0,1)$ with $\gcd(q,b)=1$ to have a purely periodic $\beta$-expansion. We provide a simple algorithm for determining the infimum of $p/q\in[0,1)$ with $\gcd(q,b)=1$ and whose $\beta$-expansion is not purely periodic, which works for all quadratic Pisot numbers $\beta$.
