Lower and upper estimates of the quantity of algebraic numbers

Abstract

It is well known that the set of algebraic numbers (let us call it AA) is countable. In this paper, instead of the usage of the classical terminology of cardinals proposed by Cantor, a recently introduced methodology using \G1-based infinite numbers is applied to measure the set AA (where the number \G1 is called \emph{grossone}). Our interest to this methodology is explained by the fact that in certain cases where cardinals allow one to say only whether a set is countable or it has the cardinality of the continuum, the \G1-based methodology can provide a more accurate measurement of infinite sets. In this article, lower and upper estimates of the number of elements of AA are obtained. Both estimates are expressed in \G1-based numbers.
