Let $\mathcal{A}'$ be the set of integers missing any three fixed digits from their decimal expansion. We produce primes in a thin sequence by proving an asymptotic formula for counting primes of the form $p = m^2 + \ell^2$, with $\ell \in…

Let $g \geq 2$. A real number is said to be g-normal if its base g expansion contains every finite sequence of digits with the expected limiting frequency. Let \phi denote Euler's totient function, let \sigma be the sum-of-divisors…

Expressions of type $(p^q-1)/(p-1)$ and $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a, b$ are natural and $p, q$ are prime numbers, are studied.

Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$ so that $K/\mathbb Q$ is a Galois extension. The {\it normal basis theorem} states that $K$ has a $\mathbb Q$-basis consisting of algebraic conjugates, in fact $K$ contains infinitely many such bases.…

For $q>0$ let $\cA$ denote the unital $\ast$-algebra with generator $x$ and defining relation $xx^\ast=qxx^\ast$. Based on this algebra we study $q$-normal operators, the complex $q$-moment problem, positive elements and sums of squares.

We construct the base $2$ expansion of an absolutely normal real number $x$ so that, for every integer $b$ greater than or equal to $2$, the discrepancy modulo $1$ of the sequence $(b^0 x, b^1 x, b^2 x , \ldots)$ is essentially the same as…

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally…

For every countable ordinal number $\alpha$ we construct an entire function $f=f_\alpha$ such that the family $\left\{f(nz):n\in\mathbb{N}\right\}$ is exactly $Q_\alpha$-normal in the unit disk.

A real number is called simply normal to base $b$ if its base-$b$ expansion has each digit appearing with average frequency tending to $1/b$. In this article, we discover a relation between the frequency that the digit $1$ appears in the…

We consider numbers formed by concatenating some of the base b digits from additive functions f(n) that closely resemble the prime counting function \Omega(n). If we concatenate the last \lceil y \frac{\log \log \log n}{\log b} \rceil…

Defined by Borel, a real number is normal to an integer base $b$, greater than or equal to $2$, if in its base-$b$ expansion every block of digits occurs with the same limiting frequency as every other block of the same length. We consider…

We continue our recent work on averages for ternary additive problems with powers of prime numbers.

It is well known that all numbers that are normal of order $k$ in base $b$ are also normal of all orders less than $k$. Another basic fact is that every real number is normal in base $b$ if and only if it is simply normal in base $b^k$ for…

In this paper, a method for constructing a near optimal normal basis for algebraic extensions of a finite field is described. In each extension, except for the squares of basis elements, the product of two distinct normal basis elements can…

An element $\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is a normal element over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if the conjugates $\alpha^{q^i}$, $0 \leq i \leq n-1$, are linearly independent over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Hence a normal basis for $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over…

In this paper we consider the q-extension of the generating function for the higher-order generalized Genocchi numbers and polynomials attached to Dirichlet's character.

According to Goldbach conjecture, any even number can be broken up as the sum of two prime numbers : $n = p + q$. We construct a network where each node is a prime number and corresponding to every even number $n$, we put a link between the…

The theory of normality for base $g$ expansions of real numbers in $[0,1)$ is rich and well developed. Similar theories have been developed for many other numeration systems, such as the regular continued fraction expansion,…
