Abstract:

Let $q$ be an odd number and $S_{q,0}(n)$ the difference between the number of $k<n$, $k\equiv 0\bmod q$, with an even binary digit sum and the corresponding number of $k<n$, $k\equiv 0\bmod q$, with an odd binary digit sum. A remarkable theorem of Newman says that $S_{3,0}(n)>0$ for all $n$. In this paper it is proved that the same assertion holds if $q$ is divisible by 3 or $q=4^N+1$. On the other hand, it is shown that the number of primes $q\le x$ with this property is $o(x/\log x)$. Finally, analoga for “higher parities” are provided.
