On the average value of the minimal Hamming multiple

Number Theory 2024-12-17 v1

Abstract

We find a nontrivial upper bound on the average value of the function M(n) which associates to every positive integer n the minimal Hamming weight of a multiple of n. Some new results about the equation M(n)=M(n') are given.
