What Sequences obey Benfords Law ?
No 185, Working Papers from Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Venice Abstract: We propose a new necessary and sufficient condition to test whether a sequence is Benford (base-b) or not and apply this characterization to some kinds of sequences (re)obtaining some well known results, as the fact that the sequence of powers of 2 is Benford (base-10).
