Abstract

In this paper we give the set of distribution functions of f(pn) mod1 for a special class of functions f(x). Also, we generalize a result on distri- bution functions shown by O. Strauch and O. Blaˇzekova´ to a multi-dimensional case. Applying it, we prove that every uniform distributed sequence xn mod1 and log pn mod1 is statistically independent. By combining this and a result of G. Rauzy we derive that the sequences pnθ +log pn and pnθ +pn/n are uniformly distributed mod1 with irrational θ.


Keywords

Distribution function, uniform distribution mod1, prime numbers.
