Behavior of digital sequences through exotic numeration systems (Q521363): Difference between revisions

Summary: Many digital functions studied in the literature, e.g., the summatory function of the base-\(k\) sum-of-digits function, have a behavior showing some periodic fluctuation. Such functions are usually studied using techniques from analytic number theory or linear algebra. In this paper we develop a method based on exotic numeration systems and we apply it on two examples motivated by the study of generalized Pascal triangles and binomial coefficients of words.
