Frequency of a Digit in the Representation of a Number and the Asymptotic Mean Value of the Digits

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We study the relationship between the frequency of a ternary digit in a number and the asymptotic mean value of the digits. The conditions for the existence of the asymptotic mean of digits in a ternary number are established. We indicate an infinite everywhere dense set of numbers without frequency of digits but with the asymptotic mean of the digits.
