Title: Parallel addition in non-standard numeration systems
Abstract: (spoluautoři: C. Frougny and E. Pelantová)
We consider numeration systems where the base is an algebraic number $\beta$ such that $|\beta|>1$ and the digits are integers. When $\beta$ is a root of a polynomial with a dominant coefficient, we can find an alphabet of signed-digits on which addition is realizable by a parallel algorithm in constant time. This algorithm is a kind of generalization of the one by Avizienis. We give a method to find such polynomial from the minimal one of $\beta$. In the case where the base is the Golden Mean, we refine the construction to obtain a parallel algorithm on the alphabet $\{-1,0, 1\}$.
