Abstract

For every integer n ∈ N, let R(n) be the integer obtained by reversing the order of the base-g digits of n and call R(n) the reversal of n (with respect to g). In this paper, we introduce and study a sequence C(g) = {R(n)}∞ n=1 which is closely related to the van der Corput sequence. We establish a few fundamental divisibility properties of reversals that lead to sharp estimates for the number of solutions to a system of congruences of the form n ≡ s (mod v) and R(n) ≡ t (mod w) (s, v, t, w ∈ N).


Keywords

van der Corput sequences, integer sequences, congruences, exponential sums.
