Simply Strongly Normal Number


A simply strongly normal number to base b is a real number xi in (0,1) for which the number m_(k,b)(xi;n) of occurrences of the digit k among the first n digits in the base-b expansion satisfies

limsup_(n->infty)(m_(k,b)(xi;n)-n/b)/(sqrt(2nlnlnn))=(sqrt(b-1))/b
(1)
liminf_(n->infty)(m_(k,b)(xi;n)-n/b)/(sqrt(2nlnlnn))=-(sqrt(b-1))/b
(2)

for every base-b digit k (Belshaw and Borwein 2013). Thus its single-digit frequencies have the fluctuations specified by the law of the iterated logarithm. Every simply strongly normal number is simply normal.
