On discrete stochastic processes generated by deterministic sequences and multiplication machines (Q5935910)

This paper is devoted to the discrete stochastic processes generated by deterministic sequences. More precisely, the author considers a discrete stochastic processes \(X= (X_0,X_1,\dots)\) with finite state space \(\{0,1,\dots, b-1\}\) which carries the random asymptotic behaviour of the relative frequency in which the digits appear in the expansion in base \(b\) of a linear recurrent sequence of real numbers. The author shows that \((X,\mathbb{P})\) has asymptotically independent values and is asymptotically identically distributed. The author proves that the speed of convergence to equilibrium is exponential. Moreover the author presents a relation, that is a topological conjugacy between the multiplication by \(\alpha\) in the \(\beta\)-shift and an irrational rotation by \(\theta\). Finally different sequences of real numbers for which the results mentioend above can be applied is discussed.
