Classification of odometers: a short elementary proof
Abstract
The paper deals with odometers (i.e. adding machines) of general type. We give a characterization of self-conjugacies of odometers which enables us to present an elementary proof of a classification of odometers given by Buescu and Stewart in [2]. The paper might also serve as a very quick introduction to odometers.
