Title: Factor complexity of infinite words associated with non-simple Parry numbers
Abstract: We study the fixed point $u_\beta$ of the canonical substitution associated with $\beta$-expansions. For a non-simple Parry number $\beta$ we determine the structure of infinite left special branches, which are an important tool for the computation of the complexity of $u_\beta$. We derive an explicit formula for the complexity of $u_\beta$ when $\beta$ is a quadratic Parry number.
