Transcendence of Stammering Continued Fractions
نویسنده
چکیده
Let θ = [0; a1, a2, . . .] be an algebraic number of degree at least three. Recently, we have established that the sequence of partial quotients (a`)`≥1 of θ is not too simple and cannot be generated by a finite automaton. In this expository paper, we point out the main ingredients of the proof and we briefly survey earlier works.

Transcendence with Rosen Continued Fractions
We give the first transcendence results for the Rosen continued fractions. Introduced over half a century ago, these fractions expand real numbers in terms of certain algebraic numbers.
متن کاملOn the Maillet–baker Continued Fractions
We use the Schmidt Subspace Theorem to establish the transcendence of a class of quasi-periodic continued fractions. This improves earlier works of Maillet and of A. Baker. We also improve an old result of Davenport and Roth on the rate of increase of the denominators of the convergents to any real algebraic number.

— This note is essentially an addendum to the recent article of Dilcher and Stolarsky [7] though some results presented here may be of independent interest. We prove the transcendence of some irregular continued fractions which are related to the Stern diatomic sequence. The proofs of our results rest on the so-called Mahler method.
متن کاملTranscendence measures for continued fractions involving repetitive or symmetric patterns
It was observed long ago (see e.g., [32] or [20], page 62) that Roth’s theorem [28] and its p-adic extension established by Ridout [27] can be used to prove the transcendence of real numbers whose expansion in some integer base contains repetitive patterns. This was properly written only in 1997, by Ferenczi and Mauduit [21], who adopted a point of view from combinatorics on words before applyi...
متن کاملOn the values of a class of analytic functions at algebraic points
We introduce a class of analytic functions of number theoretic interest, namely stammering functions. It has been recently proved that these functions take transcendental values at some algebraic points. In the present paper, we establish a general transcendence criterion that extends these results. Another aim is to underline the main difficulties arising from the use of the Schmidt Subspace T...
