Abstract

It is well known that all numbers that are normal of order k in base b are also normal of all orders less than k. Another basic fact is that every real number is normal in base b if and only if it is simply normal in base bkfor all k. This may be interpreted to mean that a number is normal in base b if and only if all blocks of digits occur with the desired relative frequency along every infinite arithmetic progression. We reinterpret these theorems for the Q-Cantor series expansions and show that they are no longer true in a particularly strong way. The main theoretical result of this paper will be to reduce the problem of constructing normal numbers with certain pathological properties to the problem of solving a system of Diophantine relations.
