Transcendental $p$-adic continued fractions

Abstract

We establish a new transcendence criterion of pp-adic continued fractions which are called Ruban continued fractions. By this result, we give explicit transcendental Ruban continued fractions with bounded pp-adic absolute value of partial quotients. This is pp-adic analogy of Baker's result. We also prove that pp-adic analogy of Lagrange Theorem for Ruban continued fractions is not true.
