Generating functions for the digital sum and other digit counting sequences
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 12 (2009) no. 5
A numeration system associates a unique string, $\Xi (n)$, with each positive integer $n$, where each string is over the same finite alphabet. Various digit counting statistics of $\Xi (n)$ are of interest with respect to a numeration system. An example is the digital sum, which is the sum of the digits in the number. We present a unifying framework for deriving identities for the generating functions of such statistics in many of the more popular numeration systems.
