It is well known that value at a non-zero algebraic number of each of the functions $e^{x}, \ln x, \sin x, \cos x, \tan x, \csc x, \sec x, \cot x, \sinh x,$ $ \cosh x,$ $ \tanh x,$ and $\coth x$ is transcendental number (see Theorem 9.11 of…

We give lower bounds for the degree of multiplicative combinations of iterates of rational functions (with certain exceptions) over a general field, establishing the multiplicative independence of said iterates. This leads to a…

For a proper subfield $K$ of $\QQ$ we show the existence of an algebraic number $\alpha$ such that no power $\alpha^n$, $n\geq 1$, lies in $K$. As an application it is shown that these numbers, multiplied by convenient Gaussian numbers, can…

We determine a lower gap property for the growth of an unbounded \(\mathbb{Z}\)-valued \(k\)-regular sequence. In particular, if \(f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{Z}\) is an unbounded \(k\)-regular sequence, we show that there is a constant \(c>0\)…

In this short note we prove the following result: If a completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[-1,1]$ is small on average in the sense that $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1-\delta}$, for some $\delta>0$, and if the Dirichlet series…

In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a sum, product and quotient of some series of positive rational…

We explore Mahler numbers originating from functions $f(z)$ that satisfy the functional equation $f(z) = (A(z)f(z^d) + C(z))/B(z)$. A procedure to compute the irrationality exponents of such numbers is developed using continued fractions…

The arithmetic nature of values of some functions of a single variable, particularly, $\sin{z}$, $\cos{z}$, $\sinh{z}$, $\cosh{z}$, $e^z$, and $\ln{z}$, is a relevant topic in number theory. For instance, all those functions return…

For any rational functions with complex coefficients $A(z), B(z)$ and $C(z)$, where $A(z)$, $C(z)$ are not identically zero, we consider the sequence of rational functions $H_{m}(z)$ with generating function $\sum…

In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a series of positive rational terms is a transcendental number.…

Let us consider a generalized Artin-Schreier algebraic function field extension $F$ of the rational function field $\F_{p^n}(x)$ defined over the finite field extension $K=\F_{p^n}$ of the prime field $\F_p$. We assume that $K$ is…

We show that if a group contains $\mathbb{Z}^n \times F_m$ as a finite-index subgroup, then its cogrowth series is the diagonal of a rational function for every generating set. This answers a question of Pak and Soukup on the cogrowth of…

Let $G$ be a finite 2-group and $K$ be a field satisfying that (i) $\fn{char}K\ne 2$, and (ii) $\sqrt{a}\in K$ for any $a\in K$. If $G$ acts on the rational function field $K(x,y,z)$ by monomial $K$-automorphisms, then the fixed field…

For an analytic function $f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_kz^k$ on a neighbourhood of a closed disc $D\subset {\bf C}$, we give assumptions, in terms of the Taylor coefficients $a_k$ of $f$, under which the number of intersection points of the…

We define an enumerative function F(n,k,P,m) which is a generalization of binomial coefficients. Special cases of this function are also power function, factorials, rising factorials and falling factorials. The first section of the paper is…

The zeta function of a motive over a finite field is multiplicative with respect to the direct sum of motives. It has beautiful analytic properties, as were predicted by the Weil conjectures. There is also a multiplicative zeta function,…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $k$ and let $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra. Let $k(G)$, respectively, $k(\mathfrak{g})$, be the field of $k$-rational functions on $G$,…

In this paper we obtain estimates for certain transcendence measures of an entire function $f$. Using these estimates, we prove Bernstein, doubling and Markov inequalities for a polynomial $P(z,w)$ in ${\Bbb C}^2$ along the graph of $f$.…

In 1902, Paul St\"ackel constructed an analytic function $f(z)$ in a neighborhood of the origin, which was transcendental, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse, as well as its derivatives, assumed algebraic values at all…
