Abstract

A new concept of the 𝔎-additive arithmetical function is introduced, generalizing the notion of the q-additive function. The properties of the 𝔎-additive arithmetical functions and their impact on the uniform distribution of sequences of the weighted sum-of-digits functions of elements of sequences generated by 𝔎-additive arithmetical functions are studied.
