# On the distribution functions of two oscillating sequences

Abstract : We investigate the set of all distribution functions of two special sequences on the unit interval, which involve logarithmic and trigonometric terms. We completely characterise the set of all distribution functions $G(x_n)$ for $(x_n)_{n \geq 1} = (\{\cos (\alpha n)^n\})_{n \geq 1}$ and arbitrary $\alpha$, where $\{x\}$ denotes the fractional part of $x$. Furthermore we give a sufficient number-theoretic condition on $\alpha$ for which $(x_n)_{n \geq 1} = (\{ \log(n) \cos(\alpha n) \})_{n \geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed. Finally we calculate $G(x_n)$ in the case when $\frac{\alpha}{2 \pi} \in \mathbb{Q}$.
