A note on new type degenerate Srirling numbers of the first kind

Abstract

We introduce a new sequence of unsigned degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind. Following the work of Adell-Lekuona, who represented unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind as multiples of the expectations of specific random variables, we express our new numbers as finite sums of multiples of the expectations of certain random variables. We also provide a representation of these new numbers as finite sums involving the classical unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind. As an inversion formula, we define a corresponding sequence of new type degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind. We derive expressions for these numbers as finite sums that involve the Stirling numbers of the second kind.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Transcendence Meets Normality: Construction of Transcendentally Normal Numbers

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally normal and provide an explicit construction of such a number, based on Sierpinski's covering method and novel ideas involving the so-called stretch function. In the next step, we transform this construction into an algorithm that computes the digits of a t-normal number recursively in all integer bases. Moreover, we extend our covering approach to construct and compute LIL-normal numbers whose discrepancies are of the order predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. We also take the opportunity to discuss several interesting open problems.
