By using a generating function approach it is shown that the sum-of-digits function (related to specific finite and infinite linear recurrences) satisfies a central limit theorem. Additionally a local limit theorem is derived.

For any $x\in (0,1]$, let $$x=\frac{1}{d_1}+\frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2}+\cdots +\frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)\cdots d_{n-1}(d_{n-1}-1)d_n}+\cdots$$ be its Lüroth expansion. Denote by $P_n\left(x\right)/Q_n\left(x\right)$ the partial sum of the first $n$ terms in the above series and call it the $n$th convergent of $x$ in the Lüroth expansion. This paper is concerned with the efficiency of approximating real numbers by their convergents ${\{P_n\left(x\right)/Q_n\left(x\right)\}}_{n\ge 1}$ in the Lüroth expansion. It is shown that almost no points can have convergents as the optimal approximation for infinitely many times in the Lüroth expansion. Consequently, Hausdorff dimension is introduced to quantify the set of...

It is well known that every $x\in (0,1]$ can be expanded to an infinite Lüroth series in the form of $$x=\frac{1}{d_1\left(x\right)}+\cdots +\frac{1}{d_1\left(x\right)(d_1\left(x\right)-1)\cdots d_{n-1}\left(x\right)(d_{n-1}\left(x\right)-1)d_n\left(x\right)}+\cdots ,$$ where $d_n\left(x\right)\ge 2$ for all $n\ge 1$. In this paper, sets of points with some restrictions on the digits in Lüroth series expansions are considered. Mainly, the Hausdorff dimensions of the Cantor sets $$F_{\phi }=\{x\in (0,1]:d_n\left(x\right)\ge \phi \left(n\right),\forall n\ge 1\}$$ are completely determined, where $\phi$ is an integer-valued function defined on $\mathbb{N}$, and $\phi \left(n\right)\to \infty$ as $n\to \infty$.

Let ${fₙ}_{n\ge 1}$ be an infinite iterated function system on [0,1] satisfying the open set condition with the open set (0,1) and let Λ be its attractor. Then to any x ∈ Λ (except at most countably many points) corresponds a unique sequence ${aₙ\left(x\right)}_{n\ge 1}$ of integers, called the digit sequence of x, such that $x=li{m}_{n\to \infty }{f}_{a₁\left(x\right)}\circ \cdots \circ f_{aₙ\left(x\right)}\left(1\right)$. We investigate the growth speed of the digits in a general infinite iterated function system. More precisely, we determine the dimension of the set $x\in \Lambda :aₙ\left(x\right)\in B\left(\forall n\ge 1\right),li{m}_{n\to \infty }aₙ\left(x\right)=\infty$ for any infinite subset B ⊂ ℕ, a question posed by Hirst for continued...

Let $K$ be a finite field and $Q\in K\left[T\right]$ a polynomial of positive degree. A function $f$ on $K\left[T\right]$ is called (completely) $Q$-additive if $f(A+BQ)=f\left(A\right)+f\left(B\right)$, where $A,B\in K\left[T\right]$ and $deg\left(A\right)\<deg\left(Q\right)$. We prove that the values $(f_1\left(A\right),...,f_d\left(A\right))$ are asymptotically equidistributed on the (finite) image set $\left\{\right(f_1\left(A\right),...,$$f_d...$

We show that the Duffin and Schaeffer conjecture holds in all dimensions greater than one.
