Distribution of digits of $pq$-adic idempotents (aka "automorphic numbers")

Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct primes. By the ring of $pq$-adic integers I mean the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{pq} := \varprojlim \mathbb{Z}/(pq)^n\mathbb{Z}$ which is obviously isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_p \...

Power series defined by Witt vectors / Teichmüller representatives of p-adics

Let $K$ be $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for some prime $p$ (or more generally an unramified extension $W(\mathbb{F}_q)$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$). If $\xi \in K$, we can write it in a unique way in the form $\sum a_i p^i$...

Zero's in the decimal representation of powers of 3

This looked like an easy exercise, when a friend of mine asked me if I know a way to prove that the decimal representation of $3^k$ always contains a zero for $k\ge k_0$, but the more I think about ...

Choice of digits for extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$

I am interested in writing (in base $p$) elements of the maximal unramified extension $\mathbb{Q}_p^{\mathrm{unr}}$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, or (its completion) the field $\mathrm{W}(\mathbb{F}_p^{\mathrm{...

Sequence of digits of powers of two

Elementary number theory tells us a lot about the final digits of the powers of two, and ergodic theory (more specifically the theory of equidistribution of points in the orbit of an irrational ...

There are infinitely many prime which have arbitrary large gap in their digits in particular base expansion

Consider $m$ and $r$ is any fixed positive integer and $t$ is a variable $(t=0,1,2,3,...)$. Below, $[a]$ denotes the greatest integer function of $a$ (or floor function). Claim 1 : There exists a ...

A recursion for the total number of 1's in binary expansions of the first natural numbers?

Let $$a(n)=a(2^k-n)+k(n-2^{k-1})$$ for $$1 \leqslant {2^{k - 1}} < n \leqslant {2^k}$$ with initial values $a(0)=0, a(1)=0, a(2)=1.$ The first values are $0,0,1,2,4,5,7,9,12,13,15,\dots.$ ...

sum of digits in different bases

Given a natural number, What is the maximal natural number below it, whose sums of digits in base 10 and base 2 are the same? Is there a clever algorithm to do this aside from the brute force search? ...

Powers of special class of positive integers whose representation in a base consists of digits only powers of that integer

For an integer $m \in (\sqrt {10} , 10)$ , define $A_{10,m}:=\{n \in \mathbb N : m^n=\sum_{j=0}^k 10^j m^{n_j} ; n_j=0 $ or $1; k \ge 0\}$ . So , $A_{10,m}$ is the set of those natural numbers , ...

Kaprekar's mapping fixed points

Jens Kruse Andersen in his comment in OEIS's A099009 noticed 3 families of numbers among Kaprekar's fixed mapping points (otherwise known as kernels of the Kaprekar's routine): "Let $d(n)$ denote $n$...

How to find A(i, d)?

Let $s(n)$ denote the digit sum of a natural number $n$. For $i, d\in \mathbb{N}$ define $$A(i, d) = \limsup_{m\to \infty}\frac{|\{n\leq m | s(n)\equiv i\mod d\}|}{m}.$$ Compute $A(i, d)$ for all $i, ...

Lowest asymptotic bound to $4^n - 2v_n^2$ where $v$ is an odd integer, $n$ fixed

The general problem is this. I try to find a positive integer $\delta_n$ such $qv_n^2 +\delta_n = p\cdot 4^n$. More precisely, I am looking for a lower bound (depending on $n$) for $\delta_n$ as $n\...

Generating the digits in a base system by repeated multiplication of a number

The first 15 terms of the sequence {a_i} = 2^i are 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768. All of the digits in base-10, i.e. {0, ...
