A well known result of Newman says that upto a limit, multiples of $3$ with even number of 1's in binary representation always exceed multiples of $3$ with odd number of 1's. The phenomenon of preponderance of even number of 1's is now…

Let $\Phi$ be a $C^{1+\gamma}$ smooth IFS on $\mathbb{R}$, where $\gamma>0$. We provide mild conditions on the derivative cocycle that ensure that every self conformal measure is supported on points $x$ that are absolutely normal. That is,…

Given a real number $0.a_1a_2 a_3\dots$ that is normal to base $b$, we examine increasing sequences $n_i$ so that the number $0.a_{n_1}a_{n_2}a_{n_3}\dots$ are normal to base $b$. Classically it is known that if the $n_i$ form an arithmetic…

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…

Given an integer $b\geqslant 2$ and a set $P$ of prime numbers, the set $T_P $ of Toeplitz numbers comprises all elements of $[0,b[$ whose digits $(a_n)_{n\geqslant 1}$ in the base-$b$ expansion satisfy $a_n=a_{pn}$ for all $p\in P$ and…

We construct a class of homogeneous Cantor-Moran measures with all contraction ratios being reciprocal of integers, and prove that they are pointwise absolutely normal. Our approach relies on methods developed by Davenport, Erd{\H{o}}s, and…

One can consider $\mu$-Martin-L\"of randomness for a probability measure $\mu$ on $2^{\omega}$, such as the Bernoulli measure $\mu_p$ given $p \in (0, 1)$. We study Bernoulli randomness of sequences in $n^{\omega}$ with parameters $p_0,…

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…

Let $T$ be a bijective map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that both $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are Borel measurable. For any $\btheta \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and any real $n \times n$ positive definite matrix $\Sigma,$ let $N (\btheta, \Sigma)$ denote the…

We consider a Branching Random Walk on $\R$ whose step size decreases by a fixed factor, $0<b<1$, with each turn. This process generates a random probability measure on $\R$, that is, the limit of uniform distribution among the $2^n$…

This work solves an open question in finite-state compressibility posed by Lutz and Mayordomo about compressibility of real numbers in different bases. Finite-state compressibility, or equivalently, finite-state dimension, quantifies the…

Phenomena with a constrained sample space appear frequently in practice. This is the case e.g. with strictly positive data and with compositional data, like percentages and the like. If the natural measure of difference is not the absolute…

A number is normal in base $b$ if, in its base $b$ expansion, all blocks of digits of equal length have the same asymptotic frequency. The rate at which a number approaches normality is quantified by the classical notion of discrepancy,…

A normalized positive operator measure $X\mapsto E(X)$ has the norm-1-property if $\no{E(X)}=1$ whenever $E(X)\ne O$. This property reflects the fact that the measurement outcome probabilities for the values of such observables can be made…

There has not been an established mathematical measure of evidence. Some Bayesians have argued that probability can be an objectively correct measure of ``rational degrees of belief,'' which we do not distinguish from evidence. However,…

We identify two sufficient conditions for locally finite Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ to give full mass to a countable family of Lipschitz images of $\mathbb{R}^m$. The first condition, extending a prior result of Pajot, is a sufficient…

A Borel probability measure \( \mu \) with compact support on \( \mathbb{R}^n \) is called spectral measure if there exists a discrete set \( \Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^n \) such that \( E_\Lambda := \{e^{2\pi i \langle \lambda, x \rangle}:…

A new notion of typicality for arbitrary probability measures on standard Borel spaces is proposed, which encompasses the classical notions of weak and strong typicality as special cases. Useful lemmas about strong typical sets, including…

It is known that if $x\in[0,1]$ is polynomial time random (i.e. no polynomial time computable martingale succeeds on the binary fractional expansion of $x$) then $x$ is normal in any integer base greater than one. We show that if $x$ is…

We provide an algorithm to approximate a finitely supported discrete measure $\mu$ by a measure $\nu_{N}$ corresponding to a set of $N$ points so that the total variation between $\mu$ and $\nu_N$ has an upper bound. As a consequence if…
