The distribution of the sum-of-digits function
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 10 (1998) no. 1, pp. 17-32.

Dans cet article, nous démontrons que la fonction “somme de chiffres” relative à des recurrences linéaires finies et infinies paxticulieres) satisfait à un theoreme central limite. Nous obtenons aussi un théorème limite local.

By using a generating function approach it is shown that the sum-of-digits function (related to specific finite and infinite linear recurrences) satisfies a central limit theorem. Additionally a local limit theorem is derived.
