Abstract
In this short note we introduce two new sequences defined using the sum of digits in the representation of an integer in a certain base. A connection to Niven numbers is proposed and some results are proven.
Work by F. L. was done in the Spring of 2007 while he visited the Naval Postgraduate School. He would like to thank this institution for its hospitality. H. F. acknowledges support from the National Security Agency under contract RMA54. Research of P. S. was supported in part by a RIP grant from Naval Postgraduate School.
