Extract

In 1960 Schmidt [S] showed that if p and q are not powers of the same integer, i.e., if log q/log p is irrational, then for certain special measures μ on [0,1), invariant under S:x ↦ px (mod 1), μ-almost every x is normal to the base q. The measures considered in [S] were similar to Cantor-Lebesgue measure: namely, under μ the p-digit process was a special i.i.d. process where for some k ≥ 2 the elements of a certain k-element subset of the p-digits assumed probability 1/k each. The proof was fairly complicated, and did not seem to yield much more (see Keane and Pearce [K] for another proof).
