The well known binary and decimal representations of the integers, and other similar number systems, admit many generalisations. Here, we investigate whether still every integer could have a finite expansion on a given integer base b, when…

It is well known that if $0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ is the base-$b$ expansion of a number normal to base-$b$, then the numbers $0.a_ka_{m+k}a_{2m+k}\dots$ for $m\ge 2$, $k\ge 1$ are all normal to base-$b$ as well. In contrast, given a continued…

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph. The regular number of $G$ is defined to be the minimum number of subsets into which the edge set of $G$ can be partitioned so that the subgraph induced by each subset is regular. In this work, we obtain…

In this paper, we show that the concatenation of the Fibonacci sequence is \textit{normal} in base $10$, meaning every string of a given length, $k$, occurs as frequently as every other string of length $k$ (there are as many $1$'s as $2$'s…

The norm kernel of the generator-coordinate method is shown to be a symmetric kernel of an integral equation with eigenfunctions defined in the Fock--Bargmann space and forming a complete set of orthonormalized states (classified with the…

A. Renyi \cite{Renyi} made a definition that gives one generalization of simple normality in the context of $Q$-Cantor series. Similarly, in this paper we give a definition which generalizes the notion of normality in the context of…

Is it possible to distinguish algebraic from transcendental real numbers by considering the $b$-ary expansion in some base $b\ge2$? In 1950, \'E. Borel suggested that the answer is no and that for any real irrational algebraic number $x$…

We believe we have made progress in the age-old problem of divisibility rules for integers. Universal divisibility rule is introduced for any divisor in any base number system. The divisibility criterion is written down explicitly as a…

Let $Q=(q_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of bases with $q_i\ge 2$. In the case when the $q_i$ are slowly growing and satisfy some additional weak conditions, we provide a construction of a number whose $Q$-Cantor series expansion is both…

Let $b \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$b$ Zuckerman number if it is divisible by the product of its base-$b$ digits. Let $\mathcal{Z}_b(x)$ be the set of base-$b$ Zuckerman numbers that do not exceed…

For an integer $b\geq 2$, a positive integer is called a $b$-Niven number if it is a multiple of the sum of the digits in its base-$b$ representation. In this article, we show that every arithmetic progression contains infinitely many…

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 $\theta>1$.

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. We prove that the $b$-adic expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms.…

The normal ordering of an integral power of the number operator in terms of boson operators is expressed with the help of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. As a `degenerate version' of this, we consider the normal ordering of a…

Let $g \geq 2$ be an integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$g$ Niven number if it is divisible by the sum of its base-$g$ digits. Assuming Hooley's Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that the set of base-$g$ Niven numbers is an additive…

Let $b\ge 2$ be an integer. We show that the set of real numbers that are Poisson generic in base $b$ is $\boldsymbol{\Pi}^0_3$-complete in the Borel hierarchy of subsets of the real line. Furthermore, the set of real numbers that are Borel…

Many research works have concerned normality-preserving selection rules and operations on the sequence of digits of a given normal number that maintain or violate normality. This leads us to introduce rearrangement operations on finite…

Let $n=p_1^{\nu_1}... p_r^{\nu_r} >1$ be an integer. An integer $a$ is called regular (mod $n$) if there is an integer $x$ such that $a^2x\equiv a$ (mod $n$). Let $\varrho(n)$ denote the number of regular integers $a$ (mod $n$) such that…

We use the notion of Borel generators to give alternative methods for computing standard invariants, such as associated primes, Hilbert series, and Betti numbers, of Borel ideals. Because there are generally few Borel generators relative to…

For a base $b \geq 2$, the $b$-elated function, $E_{2,b}$, maps a positive integer written in base $b$ to the product of its leading digit and the sum of the squares of its digits. A $b$-elated number is a positive integer that maps to $1$…
