Abstract

Given an integer D ≥ 2, a D-normal number, or simply a normal number, is a real number whose D-ary expansion is such that any preassigned sequence, of length k ≥ 1, of base D digits from this expansion, occurs at the expected frequency, namely 1/Dk. We construct large families of normal numbers using primes and polynomials.


Keywords

Key words: normal numbers, primes, polynomials.
