Abstract
Fix a positive integer . For a real number and a digit , let denote the frequency of the digit among the first -adic digits of . It is well-known that for a typical (in the sense of Baire) , the frequencies diverge as . In this paper we provide a substantial strengthening of this result. Namely, we show that for a typical any regular linear average of the sequence also diverges spectacularly.
