Borel's normality conjecture for algebraic irrational numbers
Borel's normality conjecture for algebraic irrational numbers
Let be a real irrational algebraic number and let be a positive integer. A real number is normal in base if it is simply normal in base for every , equivalently, every sequence of digits occurs with frequency in its -ary expansion. Borel's conjecture. The number is normal in base . Borel's conjecture is a central open problem concerning the digit distribution of algebraic irrational numbers; the source presents it as Borel's 1950 suggestion.
