On k-triad sequences.
In this paper we extend Champernowne’s construction of normal numbers in base to the case and obtain an explicit construction of the generic point of the shift transformation of the set . We prove that the intersection of the considered lattice configuration with an arbitrary line is a normal sequence in base .
Two linear numeration systems, with characteristic polynomial equal to the minimal polynomial of two Pisot numbers and respectively, such that and are multiplicatively dependent, are considered. It is shown that the conversion between one system and the other one is computable by a finite automaton. We also define a sequence of integers which is equal to the number of periodic points of a sofic dynamical system associated with some Parry number.

For a positive integer n, let σ(n) denote the sum of the positive divisors of n. Let d be a proper divisor of n. We call n a near-perfect number if σ(n) = 2n + d, and a deficient-perfect number if σ(n) = 2n - d. We show that there is no odd near-perfect number with three distinct prime divisors and determine all deficient-perfect numbers with at most two distinct prime factors.
For a positive integer n, let σ(n) denote the sum of the positive divisors of n. We call n a near-perfect number if σ(n) = 2n + d where d is a proper divisor of n. We show that the only odd near-perfect number with four distinct prime divisors is 3⁴·7²·11²·19².
