Odometers and systems of numeration
As promised in the first paper of this series (Ann. Inst. Fourier, 26-4 (1976), 115-131), these two articles deal with the asymptotic distribution of the fractional parts of where is an arithmetical function (namely , , ) and is an integer (or a prime order) running over the interval . The results obtained are rather sharp, although one can improve on some of them at the cost of increased technicality. Number-theoretic applications will be given later on.
