Abstract

In this paper we find an identity that gives a representation for the logarithm of any two irrational numbers a,b>1a, b >1 in terms of a series whose terms are ratios of elements from the Beatty Sequences generated by these two numbers. We also show that Sturmian sequences can be defined in terms of these ratios. Furthermore, we find an identity for such series that bears a superficial resemblance to (a discrete version of) Frullani's Integral.
