On the counting function for the generalized Niven numbers

Ryan Daileda, Jessica Jou, Robert Lemke-Oliver, Elizabeth Rossolimo, Enrique Treviño (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Given an integer base q 2 and a completely q -additive arithmetic function f taking integer values, we deduce an asymptotic expression for the counting function N f ( x ) = # 0 n < x | f ( n ) n under a mild restriction on the values of f . When f = s q , the base q sum of digits function, the integers counted by N f are the so-called base q Niven numbers, and our result provides a generalization of the asymptotic known in that case.

Large sets with small doubling modulo p are well covered by an arithmetic progression

Oriol Serra, Gilles Zémor (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We prove that there is a small but fixed positive integer ϵ such that for every prime p larger than a fixed integer, every subset S of the integers modulo p which satisfies | 2 S | ( 2 + ϵ ) | S | and 2 ( | 2 S | ) - 2 | S | + 3 p is contained in an arithmetic progression of length | 2 S | - | S | + 1 . This is the first result of this nature which places no unnecessary restrictions on the size of S .
