Abstract

Let a,b and n be integers larger than 1 and let α,β be integers satisfying 0 ≤α<a, 0 ≤β<b. Denote Lα,a ( n ) ,Lβ,b ( n ) the numbers of digits in the canonical expansion of n in base a and b which are different from α and β, respectively. Define Lα,a,β,b (n)=Lα,a (n)+Lβ,b (n). In this short note, the lower bound of Lα,a,β,b ( n ) was considered, i.e., if loga/logb is irrational, the estimate Lα,a,β,b (n)>loglogn/(logloglogn+C)−1, holds for C ?logab and n>25, which deepens the result of Stewart.
