A result on the maximal length of consecutive 0 digits in $\beta$-expansions

Abstract

Let $\beta>1$ be a real number. For any $x\in[0,1]$, let $r_{n}(x,\beta)$ be the maximal length of consecutive zero digits in the first $n$ digits of the $\beta$-expansion of $x$. In this note, it is proved that for any $0
