On Binomial Identities in Arbitrary Bases

Abstract

We extend the digital binomial identity as given by Nguyen el al. to an identity in an arbitrary base bb, by introducing the bb-ary binomial coefficients. We then study the properties of these coefficients such as orthogonality, a link to Lucas' theorem and the corresponding bb-ary Pascal triangles.
