Abstract:
We give an elementary and direct proof of the following theorem: A real number is normal to a given integer base if, and only if, its expansion in that base is incompressible by lossless finite-state compressors (these are finite automata augmented with an output transition function such that the automata input-output behaviour is injective; they are also known as injective finite-state transducers). As a corollary we obtain V.N. Agafonov's theorem on the preservation of normality on subsequences selected by finite automata.© 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
