Cellular automata and powers of p∕q

We consider one-dimensional cellular automata F p , q which multiply numbers by p ∕ q in base p q for relatively prime integers p and q . By studying the structure of traces with respect to F p , q we show that for p ≥ 2 q - 1 (and then as a simple corollary for p > q > 1 ) there are arbitrarily small finite unions of intervals which contain the fractional parts of the sequence ξ ( p ∕ q ) n , ( n = 0 , 1 , 2 , ... ) , for some ξ > 0 . To the other direction, by studying the measure theoretical properties of , F p , q , we show that for p > q > 1 there are finite unions of intervals approximating the unit interval arbitrarily well wich don't contain the fractional parts of the whole sequence ξ ( p / q ) n for any ξ > 0 .
