On the convergence to 0 of mₙξmod 1

Bassam Fayad, Jean-Paul Thouvenot (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that for any irrational number α and a sequence m l l of integers such that l i m l | | | m l α | | | = 0 , there exists a continuous measure μ on the circle such that l i m l | | | m l θ | | | d μ ( θ ) = 0 . This implies that any rigidity sequence of any ergodic transformation is a rigidity sequence for some weakly mixing dynamical system. On the other hand, we show that for any α ∈ ℝ - ℚ, there exists a sequence m l l of integers such that | | | m l α | | | 0 and such that m l θ [ 1 ] is dense on the circle if and only if θ ∉ ℚα + ℚ.

On the discrepancy of sequences associated with the sum-of-digits function

Gerhard Larcher, N. Kopecek, R. F. Tichy, G. Turnwald (1987)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

If w = ( q k ) k N denotes the sequence of best approximation denominators to a real α , and s α ( n ) denotes the sum of digits of n in the digit representation of n to base w , then for all x irrational, the sequence ( s α ( n ) · x ) n N is uniformly distributed modulo one. Discrepancy estimates for the discrepancy of this sequence are given, which turn out to be best possible if α has bounded continued fraction coefficients.

On the distribution of p α modulo one

Xiaodong Cao, Wenguang Zhai (1999)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper, we give a new upper-bound for the discrepancy D ( N ) : = sup 0 γ 0 | p / N p α γ 1 - π ( N ) γ | for the sequence ( p α ) , when 5 / 3 α > 3 and α 2 .
