On the intersection of two homogeneous Beatty sequences
A. V. Begunts, D. V. Goryashin Lomonosov Moscow State University (Moscow)
Abstract:
Homogeneous Beatty sequences are sequences of the form an=[αn], where α is a positive irrational number. In 1957 T. Skolem showed that if the numbers 1,1α,1β are linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, then the sequences [αn] and [βn] have infinitely many elements in common. T. Bang strengthened this result: denote Sα,β(N) the number of natural numbers k, 1⩽k⩽N, that belong to both Beatty sequences [αn], [βm], and the numbers 1,1α,1β are linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, then Sα,β(N)∼Nαβ for N→∞.
In this paper, we prove a refinement of this result for the case of algebraic numbers. Let α,β>1 be irrational algebraic numbers such that 1,1α,1β are linearly independent over the field of rational numbers. Then for any ε>0 the following asymptotic formula holds: Sα,β(N)=Nαβ+O(N12+ε),N→∞.
Keywords:
homogeneous Beatty sequence, exponential sums, asymptotic formula.
