DECIMAL EXPANSIONS: THEIR UNIQUENESS AND INTERESTING PATTERNS
Journal Title: Journal of Ramanujan Society of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
An expression of the form o.abcd... written by arbitrarily picking up a, b, c, d ... from among 0 to 9, cannot be taken to represent the decimal expansion of a real number. In fact, the decimal expansion of every irrational number is unique in itself whereas those of rational numbers (fractions) follow some interesting patterns. These results are of far-reaching consequences in the context of Cantor's second proof (1878) about the uncountability of real numbers.

HIERARCHIES OF PALINDROMIC SEQUENCES IN THE SYMMETRIC GROUP Sn
A new property of the Symmetric group, Sn, arises when each element is assigned a unique place value, which enables the ordering of the elements (nu- merically). It is shown that the di erences between successive element...
