The binary sum-of-digits function $\mathsf{s}$ returns the number of ones in the binary expansion of a nonnegative integer. Cusick's Hamming weight conjecture states that, for all integers $t\geq 0$, the set of nonnegative integers $n$ such…

Cusick's conjecture on the binary sum of digits $s(n)$ of a nonnegative integer $n$ states the following: for all nonnegative integers $t$ we have \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac 1N\left\lvert\{n<N:s(n+t)\geq s(n)\}\right\rvert>1/2.…

Let $s$ be the sum-of-digits function in base $2$, which returns the number of $\mathtt 1$s in the base-2 expansion of a nonnegative integer. For a nonnegative integer $t$, define the asymptotic density \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty}…

Let $s(n)$ denote the number of ones in the binary expansion of the nonnegative integer $n$. How does $s$ behave under addition of a constant $t$? In order to study the differences \[s(n+t)-s(n),\] for all $n\ge0$, we consider the…

For a nonnegative integer $t$, let $c_t$ be the asymptotic density of natural numbers $n$ for which $s(n + t) \geq s(n)$, where $s(n)$ denotes the sum of digits of $n$ in base $2$. We prove that $c_t > 1/2$ for $t$ in a set of asymptotic…

Let $\mathsf{s}(n)$ denote the sum of binary digits of an integer $n \geq 0$. In the recent years there has been interest in the behavior of the differences $\mathsf{s}(n+t)-\mathsf{s}(n)$, where $t \geq 0$ is an integer. In particular,…

Let $s_2$ be the sum-of-digits function in base $2$, which returns the number of non-zero binary digits of a nonnegative integer $n$. We study $s_2$ alon g arithmetic subsequences and show that --- up to a shift --- the set of $m$-tuples of…

A new family of sequences is proposed. An example of sequence of this family is more accurately studied. This sequence is composed by the integers $n$ for which the sum of binary digits is equal to the sum of binary digits of $n^2$. Some…

We consider the sum-of-digits functions $s_2$ and $s_3$ in bases $2$ and $3$. These functions just return the minimal numbers of powers of two (resp. three) needed in order to represent a nonnegative integer as their sum. A result of the…

Let $s(n)$ denote the sum of digits in the binary expansion of the integer $n$. Hare, Laishram and Stoll (2011) studied the number of odd integers such that $s(n)=s(n^2)=k$, for a given integer $k\geq 1$. The remaining cases that could not…

We prove a Central Limit Theorem for probability measures defined via the variation of the sum-of-digits function, in base $b\ge 2$. For $r\ge 0$ and $d \in \mathbb{Z}$, we consider $\mu^{(r)}(d)$ as the density of integers $n\in…

Let $s\_2(x)$ denote the number of digits "$1$" in a binary expansion of any $x \in \mathbb{N}$. We study the mean distribution $\mu\_a$ of the quantity $s\_2(x+a)-s\_2(x)$ for a fixed positive integer $a$.It is shown that solutions of the…

We discuss the summation of certain series defined by counting blocks of digits in the $B$-ary expansion of an integer. For example, if $s_2(n)$ denotes the sum of the base-2 digits of $n$, we show that $\sum_{n \geq 1} s_2(n)/(2n(2n+1)) =…

The Tu--Deng Conjecture is concerned with the sum of digits $w(n)$ of $n$ in base~$2$ (the Hamming weight of the binary expansion of $n$) and states the following: assume that $k$ is a positive integer and $1\leq t<2^k-1$. Then \[\Bigl…

The sequence A268289 from the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, namely the cumulated differences between the number of digits 1 and the number of digits 0 in the binary expansion of consecutive integers, is studied here. This…

In this paper we prove a central limit theorem for some probability measures defined as asymtotic densities of integer sets defined via sum-of-digit-function. To any integer a we can associate a measure on Z called $\mu$a such that, for any…

We show that the number of $1$'s in the first $N$ digits of the binary expansion of $\sqrt{2}$ is at least $\sqrt{2N}(1+o(1))$ and show that this bound can be improved to around $2\sqrt{N}/\sqrt{2\sqrt{2}-1}$ infinitely often.

Let $s(n)$ denote the number of ones in the binary expansion of a natural number $n\in\mathbb{N}$. For any $t\in\mathbb{N}$ and $d\in\mathbb{Z}$, let $\mu_t(d)$ denote the asymptotic density of the set of those natural numbers $n$ for which…

A folklore conjecture in number theory states that the only integers whose expansions in base $3,4$ and $5$ contain solely binary digits are $0, 1$ and $82000$. In this paper, we present the first progress on this conjecture. Furthermore,…

In this paper we study correlation measures introduced in \cite{emme_asymptotic_2017}. Denote by $\mu_a(d)$ the asymptotic density of the set $\mathcal{E}_{a,d}=\{n \in \mathbb{N}, \ s_2(n+a)-s_2(n)=d\}$ (where $s_2$ is the sum-of-digits…
