Attempting to create a general framework for studying new results on transcendental numbers, this paper begins with a survey on transcendental numbers and transcendence, it then presents several properties of the transcendental numbers $e$…
We discuss the role of auxiliary functions in the development of transcendental number theory.
We study the set of algebraic numbers of bounded height and bounded degree where an analytic transcendental function takes algebraic values.
Transcendental functions, such as exponentials and logarithms, appear in a broad array of computational domains: from simulations in curvilinear coordinates, to interpolation, to machine learning. Unfortunately they are typically expensive…
We prove the analogue of Schanuel's conjecture for raising to the power of an exponentially transcendental real number. All but countably many real numbers are exponentially transcendental. We also give a more general result for several…
In this book there will be found an introduction to transcendental number theory, starting at the beginning and ending at the frontiers. The emphasis is on the conceptual aspects of the subject, thus the effective theory has been more or…
We study the set of algebraic numbers of bounded height and bounded degree where an analytic transcendental function takes algebraic values.
We collect a number of open questions concerning Diophantine equations, Diophantine Approximation and transcendental numbers. Revised version: corrected typos and added references.
We first give a summary of the history of transcendental numbers then use a nice technique by G. Dresden to prove a new transcendental number. In particular, while previous work looked at the last non-zero digit of $n^n$, we consider the…
We look at a class of transcendental real numbers xi which, together with their square, satisfy some extremal property of simultaneous approximation by rational numbers with the same denominator. We give a sufficient condition for such a…
This expository article written for the Notices of the American Mathematical Society provides an overview of transcendental functions arising as solutions of the discrete Painlev\'e equations, for which the developments of the last two…
We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…
In this paper, we propose various sufficient conditions to determine if a given real number is an irrational number or a transcendental number and also apply these conditions to some interesting examples, particularly,one of them comes from…
In the present paper, we give sufficient conditions on the elements of the continued fractions $A$ and $B$ that will assure us that the continued fraction $A^B$ is a transcendental number. With the same condition, we establish a…
We study algebraic and transcendental powers of positive real numbers, including solutions of each of the equations $x^x=y$, $x^y=y^x$, $x^x=y^y$, $x^y=y$, and $x^{x^y}=y$. Applications to values of the iterated exponential functions are…
Cyclotomic polylogarithms are reviewed and new results concerning the special constants that occur are presented. This also allows some comments on previous literature results using PSLQ.
In this paper, we show the existence of a transcendental function $f\in\mathbb{Z}\{z\}$ with coefficients that are almost all bounded such that $f$ and all its derivatives assume algebraic values at algebraic points. Furthermore, we…
We consider series of the form $$ \frac{p}{q} +\sum_{j=2}^\infty \frac{1}{x_j}, $$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $n\geq 1$.…
The $abc$ conjecture is a very deep concept in number theory with wide application to many areas of number theory. In this article we introduce the conjecture and give examples of its applications. In particular we apply the $abc$…
To decide upon the arithmetic nature of some numbers may be a non-trivial problem. Some cases are well know, for example exp(1) and W(1), where W is the Lambert function, are transcendental numbers. The Tsallis q-exponential, e_q (z), and…
