An Irrationality Measure for Regular Paperfolding Numbers

چکیده
Let F(z) = ∑ n>1 fnz n be the generating series of the regular paperfolding sequence. For a real number α the irrationality exponent μ(α), of α, is defined as the supremum of the set of real numbers μ such that the inequality |α − p/q| < q−μ has infinitely many solutions (p, q) ∈ Z × N. In this paper, using a method introduced by Bugeaud, we prove that μ(F(1/b)) 6 275331112987 137522851840 = 2.002075359 · · ·

Irrationality measures for some automatic real numbers
This paper is devoted to the rational approximation of automatic real numbers, that is, real numbers whose expansion in an integer base can be generated by a finite automaton. We derive upper bounds for the irrationality exponent of famous automatic real numbers associated with the Thue–Morse, Rudin–Shapiro, paperfolding and Baum–Sweet sequences. These upper bounds arise from the construction o...

1. Irrationality Measures An irrationality measure of x ∈ R \Q is a number μ such that ∀ > 0,∃C > 0,∀(p, q) ∈ Z, ∣∣∣∣x− pq ∣∣∣∣ ≥ C qμ+ . This is a way to measure how well the number x can be approximated by rational numbers. The measure is effective when C( ) is known. We denote inf {μ | μ is an irrationality measure of x } by μ(x), and we call it the irrationality measure of x. By definition,...

1 : This paper reproves a few results concerning paperfolding sequences using properties of Catalan numbers modulo 2. The guiding principle can be described by: Paperfolding = Catalan modulo 2 + signs given by 2−automatic sequences.

متن کاملIrrationality proof of a q-extension of ζ(2) using little q-Jacobi polynomials
We show how one can use Hermite-Padé approximation and little q-Jacobi polynomials to construct rational approximants for ζq(2). These numbers are qanalogues of the well known ζ(2). Here q = 1 p , with p an integer greater than one. These approximants are good enough to show the irrationality of ζq(2) and they allow us to calculate an upper bound for its measure of irrationality: μ (ζq(2)) ≤ 10...
