The generalization of positional number representations to a wide range of digit sets or to higher dimensions is a fascinating story. Grünwald (1885) investigated negative-based, Kempner (1936), Knuth (1960), Khmelnik (1964), Penney (1965) complex-based systems. From the 70's Kátai, B.Kovács, Környei, Pethő (the "Hungarian school") and Gilbert examined systematically the radix extensions in algebraic number fields. In the 90's the topological aspects of radix representations was studied by Bandt, Indlekofer, Járai, Kátai, Lagarias, Wang, Vince, and later by Akiyama, Thuswaldner and others. The canonical number representation was generalized to arbitrary polynomial systems by Pethő (1989), and investigated later extensively by many authors (incl. Akiyama, Brunotte, Kovács, Pethő, Rao, Scheicher, Thuswaldner). The number system concept in general lattices was investigated first by Vince (1993). The algorithmical aspects of canonical (polynomial) systems was initiated by Brunotte (2001) and for general lattices by Kovács (2000). A special type of radix systems (SRS) is lengthly studied by Thuswaldner and his co-workers (the "Austrian school").
