Abstract: | Let q 2 be an integer. Then –q gives rise to a number system in , i.e., each number n has a unique representation of the form n = c0 + c1 (–q) + ... + ch (–q)h, with ci {0,..., q – 1}(0 i h). The aim of this paper is to investigate the sum of digits function –q (n) of these number systems. In particular, we derive an asymptotic expansion forand obtain a Gaussian asymptotic distribution result for –q(n) – –q(–n). Furthermore, we prove non-differentiability of certain continuous functions occurring in this context. We use automata and analytic methods to derive our results. |
