Dedekind sums with arguments near certain transcendental numbers

Number Theory 2013-04-12 v1

Abstract

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the classical Dedekind sums s(sk/tk)s(s_k/t_k) for the sequence of convergents sk/tks_k/t_k k0k\ge 0, of the transcendental number \BD \sum_{j=0}^\infty\frac {1}{b^{2^j}},\ b\ge 3. \ED In particular, we show that there are infinitely many open intervals of constant length such that the sequence s(sk/tk)s(s_k/t_k) has infinitely many transcendental cluster points in each interval.
