Normal number constructions for Cantor series with slowly growing bases

Abstract

Let $Q=(q_n{)}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of bases with $q_i\ge 2$. In the case when the $q_i$ are slowly growing and satisfy some additional weak conditions, we provide a construction of a number whose $Q$-Cantor series expansion is both $Q$-normal and $Q$-distribution normal. Moreover, this construction will result in a computable number provided we have some additional conditions on the computability of $Q$, and from this construction we can provide computable constructions of numbers with atypical normality properties.
