Wall's theorem on arithmetic progressions says that if $0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ is normal, then for any $k,\ell\in \mathbb{N}$, $0.a_ka_{k+\ell}a_{k+2\ell}\dots$ is also normal. We examine a converse statement and show that if…
This short article is aimed at educators and teachers of mathematics.Its goal is simple and direct:to explore some of the basic/elementary properties of proper rational numbers.A proper rational number is a rational which is not an integer.…
It is shown that the set of decimal palindromes is an additive basis for the natural numbers. Specifically, we prove that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of forty-nine (possibly zero) decimal palindromes.
In this paper we use a probabilistic approach to derive the expressions for the characteristic functions of basic statistics defined on permutation tableaux. Since our expressions are exact, we can identify the distributions of basic…
Following Srinivasan, an integer n\geq 1 is called practical if every natural number in [1,n] can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of n. This motivates us to define f(n) as the largest integer with the property that all of 1, 2,…
We study the Cantor real base numeration system which is a common generalization of two positional systems, namely the Cantor system with a sequence of integer bases and the R\'enyi system with one real base. We focus on the so-called…
In the present paper the authors construct normal numbers in base $q$ by concatenating $q$-adic expansions of prime powers $\lfloor\alpha p^\theta\rfloor$ with $\alpha>0$ and $\theta>1$.
We observe that a probability distribution supported by $\mathbb{N}$, induces a representation of real numbers in [0, 1) with digits in $\mathbb{N}$. We first study the Hausdorff dimension of sets with prescribed digits with respect to…
We provide conditions which yield a strong law of large numbers for expressions of the form $1/N\sum_{n=1}^{N}F\big(X(q_1(n)),..., X(q_\ell(n))\big)$ where $X(n),n\geq 0$'s is a sufficiently fast mixing vector process with some moment…
The equidistribution of the double sign patterns of the Liouville function $\lambda$ is proved unconditionally. As application, it is shown that the computable real number $$\sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1+\lambda(n)}{2^{n}}$$ is a simply normal…
It is shown that for finding rational approximates to m'th root of any integer to any accuracy one only needs the ability to count and to distinguish between m different classes of objects. To every integer N can be associated a…
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
We elaborate the notions of Martin-L\"of and Schnorr randomness for real numbers in terms of uniform distribution of sequences. We give a necessary condition for a real number to be Schnorr random expressed in terms of classical uniform…
We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the sum of M independent continuous random variables modulo 1 to converge to the uniform distribution in L^1([0,1]), and discuss generalizations to discrete random variables. A consequence…
We count the number of distinct (scattered) subwords occurring in the base-b expansion of the non-negative integers. More precisely, we consider the sequence $(S_b(n))_{n\ge 0}$ counting the number of positive entries on each row of a…
The theory of uniform approximation of real numbers motivates the study of products of consecutive partial quotients in regular continued fractions. For any non-decreasing positive function $\varphi:\mathbb{N}\to [2,\infty)$, we determine…
For two real bases $q_0, q_1 > 1$, a binary sequence $i_1 i_2 \cdots \in \{0,1\}^\infty$ is the $(q_0,q_1)$-expansion of the number \[ \pi_{q_0,q_1}(i_1 i_2 \cdots) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{i_k}{q_{i_1} \cdots q_{i_k}}. \] Let…
Let D be a domain, n, k be positive integers and n >= K+3. Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in D. If each f in F satisfies (f^n)^(k) not equal to 1 for z in D, then F is normal family. This result was proved by Schwick. In this…
We use entropy rates and Schur concavity to prove that, for every integer k >= 2, every nonzero rational number q, and every real number alpha, the base-k expansions of alpha, q+alpha, and q*alpha all have the same finite-state dimension…
We study the Borel complexity of sets of normal numbers in several numeration systems. Taking a dynamical point of view, we offer a unified treatment for continued fraction expansions and base $r$ expansions, and their various…
