Abstract :
[en] We address the following decision problem. Given a numeration system U and a U-recognizable subset X of N, i.e. the set of its greedy U-representations is recognized by a finite automaton, decide whether or not X is ultimately periodic. We prove that this problem is decidable for a large class of numeration systems built on linear recurrence sequences. Based on arithmetical considerations about the recurrence equation and on p-adic methods, the DFA given as input provides a bound on the admissible periods to test.
