We use the notion of Borel generators to give alternative methods for computing standard invariants, such as associated primes, Hilbert series, and Betti numbers, of Borel ideals. Because there are generally few Borel generators relative to…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. We prove that the $b$-adic expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms.…

In terms of the hypergeometric method, we give the extensions of two known series for $\pi$. Further, other twenty-nine summation formulas for $\pi$, $\pi^2$ and $1/\pi$ with free parameters are also derived in the same way.
