Normal bases for the space of continuous functions defined on a subset of Zp.

Ann Verdoodt (1994)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let K be a non-archimedean valued field which contains Qp and suppose that K is complete for the valuation |·|, which extends the p-adic valuation. Vq is the closure of the set {aqn|n = 0,1,2,...} where a and q are two units of Zp, q not a root of unity. C(Vq → K) is the Banach space of continuous functions from Vq to K, equipped with the supremum norm. Our aim is to find normal bases (rn(x)) for C(Vq → K), where rn(x) does not have to be a polynomial.

Normal bivariate Birkhoff interpolation schemes and Pell equation

Marius Crainic, Nicolae Crainic (2009)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Finding the normal Birkhoff interpolation schemes where the interpolation space and the set of derivatives both have a given regular “shape” often amounts to number-theoretic equations. In this paper we discuss the relevance of the Pell equation to the normality of bivariate schemes for different types of “shapes”. In particular, when looking at triangular shapes, we will see that the conjecture in Lorentz R.A., Multivariate Birkhoff Interpolation, Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 1516, Springer, Berlin-Heidelberg,...

Normal integral bases and tameness conditions for Kummer extensions

Ilaria Del Corso, Lorenzo Paolo Rossi (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We present a detailed analysis of some properties of a general tamely ramified Kummer extension of number fields L/K. Our main achievement is a criterion for the existence of a normal integral basis for a general Kummer extension, which generalizes the existing results. Our approach also allows us to explicitly describe the Steinitz class of L/K and we get an easy criterion for this class to be trivial. In the second part of the paper we restrict to the particular case of tame Kummer extensions...

Normal number constructions for Cantor series with slowly growing bases

Dylan Airey, Bill Mance, Joseph Vandehey (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let Q = ( q n ) n = 1 be a sequence of bases with q i 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 Q -normal and Q -distribution normal. Moreover, this construction will result in a computable number provided we have some additional conditions on the computability of Q , and from this construction we can provide computable constructions of numbers with atypical normality properties.

Normal numbers and the Borel hierarchy

Verónica Becher, Pablo Ariel Heiber, Theodore A. Slaman (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the set of absolutely normal numbers is Π⁰₃-complete in the Borel hierarchy of subsets of real numbers. Similarly, the set of absolutely normal numbers is Π⁰₃-complete in the effective Borel hierarchy.

Normal numbers and the middle prime factor of an integer

Jean-Marie De Koninck, Imre Kátai (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let pₘ(n) stand for the middle prime factor of the integer n ≥ 2. We first establish that the size of log pₘ(n) is close to √(log n) for almost all n. We then show how one can use the successive values of pₘ(n) to generate a normal number in any given base D ≥ 2. Finally, we study the behavior of exponential sums involving the middle prime factor function.
