(mentor) Dekking, F.M. (mentor) Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department Applied mathematics Date 2009-06-29 Abstract We investigate an old number-theoretical problem by Mahler. Using beta-expansions and p-adic valuations we obtain some new results. An important extension on a theorem on periodicity concerning expansions with algebraic base is proven.
