Abstract:We show, from a topological viewpoint, that most numbers are not normal in a strong sense. More precisely, the set of numbers x ∈ (0, 1] with the following property is comeager: for all integers b ≥ 2 and k ≥ 1, the sequence of vectors made by the frequencies of all possibile strings of length k in the b-adic representation of x has a maximal subset of accumulation points, and each of them is the limit of a subsequence with an index set of nonzero asymptotic density. This extends and provides a streamlined pro… Show more
