In this paper, we show that the asymptotic density of all the above $n$ is equal to $1/(k-1)$. Although the common difference $r$ is arbitrarily fixed in the above result, we also examine the case when $r$ is not fixed. Furthermore, we also examine the number of the above $n$ that are contained in a short interval.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-24T17:58:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B25", "11B30" ], "keywords": [ "arithmetic progression", "piatetski-shapiro sequence", "distributions", "short interval", "common difference" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
