Abstract
Let r ≥ and s ≥ 2 be multiplicatively dependent integers. We establish a lower bound for the sum of the block complexities of the -ary expansion and the r-ary expansion and the s-ary expansion of an irrational real number, viewed as infinite words on {0, 1,...,r - 1} and {0, 1,...,s - 1}, and we show that this bound is best possible.
