For a real sequence
f = {f(n)} and positive integer N, let FN denote the sequence of N-tuples
{(f(n + 1),⋯,f(n + N))}. A functional equation method due to Kemperman is used
to obtain a sufficient condition on s in order that sN have an independent
N-tuple among its cluster points. If a bounded s has the latter property, and if
g = rs, where r(n) →∞ and r(n + 1)∕r(n) → 1 as n →∞, then there is a
subsequence S of the sequence of positive integers such that, for almost all
real α, the restriction of αgN to S is uniformly distributed (mod1) in the
N-cube.
