In this paper we give precise expressions for the those natural numbers for which the $k$th digit is 1, proving two conjectures for $k=0,1$. The expressions are all in terms of generalized Beatty sequences.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-20T04:15:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B99" ], "keywords": [ "base phi representation", "golden mean beta-expansions", "natural number", "generalized beatty sequences", "sum powers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
