Let Q=[Q j ] j=0 be a strictly increasing sequence of integers with Q 0 =1 and such that each Q j is a divisor of Q j+1 . The sequence Q is a numeration system in the sense that every positive integer n has a unique ``base-Q'' representation of the form n= j 0 a j (n) Q j with ``digits'' a j (n) sat

✦ Synopsis
Canonical number systems are the natural generalization of q-adic number systems to number fields. Such number systems admit a certain representation of each algebraic integer of a given number field with respect to the powers of a given base number b. The aim of this paper is to study the sum of digits function & b (#) of these number systems. In particular, we prove, that & b (#) is equidistributed in residue classes modulo m in any ideal s. Furthermore, we investigate the sum of digits function over sumsets.

Consider all the integers not exceeding x with the property that in the system number to base g all their digits belong to a given set D/[0, 1, ..., g, &1]. The distribution of these integers in residue classes to ``not very large'' moduli is studied. 1998 Academic Press SECTION 1 Throughout this pa
Let S q (n) denote the sum of digits of n in base q. For given pairwise coprime bases q 1 , ..., q l and arbitrary residue classes a i mod m i (i=1, ..., l), we obtain an estimate with error term O(N 1&$ ) for the quantity which extends results of J. Be sineau and establishes a conjecture of A. O.
A set A [1, ..., N] is of the type B 2 if all sums a+b, with a b, a, b # A, are distinct. It is well known that the largest such set is of size asymptotic to N 1Â2 . For a B 2 set A of this size we show that, under mild assumptions on the size of the modulus m and on the difference N 1Â2 &| A | (the
