Distribution of Leading Digits of Numbers


Cite

Applying the theory of distribution functions of sequences we find the relative densities of the first digits also for sequences xn not satisfying Benford’s law. Especially for sequence xn = nr, n = 1, 2, . . . and xn=pnr$x_n = p_n^r $, n = 1, 2, . . ., where pn is the increasing sequence of all primes and r > 0 is an arbitrary real. We also add rate of convergence to such densities.
