    Abstract

    We consider digit expansions in lattices with endomorphisms acting as base. We focus on the w-non-adjacent form (w-NAF), where each block of w consecutive digits contains at most one non-zero digit. We prove that for sufficiently large w and an expanding endomorphism, there is a suitable digit set such that each lattice element has an expansion as a w-NAF.

    If the eigenvalues of the endomorphism are large enough and w is sufficiently large, then the w-NAF is shown to minimise the weight among all possible expansions of the same lattice element using the same digit system.
