In this paper, we study a relation between digits of $p$-adic numbers and Mahler's classification. We show that an irrational $p$-adic number whose digits are automatic, primitive morphic, or Sturmian is an $S$-, $T$-, or $U_1$-number in…
We compute the exact irrationality exponents of certain series of rational numbers, first studied in a special case by Hone, by transforming them into suitable continued fractions.
We prove that there is at least one irrationnal among the nine numbers zeta(5), zeta(7),..., zeta(21).
We obtain a new characterization for irrational numbers of constant type -- defined as irrationals with bounded partial quotients in their continued fraction expansion. The result is essential in the formulation of stability criteria for…
The generalized Euler number E_{n|k} counts the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} which have a descent in position m if and only if m is divisible by k. The classical Euler numbers are the special case when k=2. In this paper, we study…
In math.NT/0307308 we defined the irrationality base of an irrational number and, assuming a stronger hypothesis than the irrationality of Euler's constant, gave a conditional upper bound on its irrationality base. Here we develop the…
In this paper, we study the degenerate Eulerian polynomials and numbers and give some new and interesting identities associated with several special numbers and polynomials.
We introduce the degenerate Bernoulli numbers of the second kind as a degenerate version of the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind. We derive a family of nonlinear differential equations satisfied by a function closely related to the…
We prove that there are at least $1.284 \cdot \sqrt{s/\log s}$ irrational numbers among $\zeta(3)$, $\zeta(5)$, $\zeta(7)$, $\ldots$, $\zeta(s-1)$ for any sufficiently large even integer $s$. This result improves upon the previous finding…
Let $F$ be an irreducible binary form attached to a number field $K$ of degree $\geq 3$. Let $\epsilon\not\in \{-1, 1\}$ be a totally real unit of $K$. By twisting $F$ with the powers $\epsilon^a$ of $\epsilon$, ($a\in{\mathbf Z}$), we…
Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer and $\xi$ an irrational real number. We prove that, if the irrationality exponent of $\xi$ is equal to $2$ or slightly greater than $2$, then the $b$-ary expansion of $\xi$ cannot be `too simple', in a suitable…
There are only aleph-zero rational numbers, while there are 2 to the power aleph-zero real numbers. Hence the probability that a randomly chosen real number would be rational is 0. Yet proving rigorously that any specific, natural, real…
Continued fractions are used to give an alternate proof of $e^{x/y}$ is irrational.
Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…
Let $A(n,m)$ denote the Eulerian numbers, which count the number of permutations on $[n]$ with exactly $m$ descents. It is well known that $A(n,m)$ also counts the number of permutations on $[n]$ with exactly $m$ excedances. In this report,…
We prove the irrationality of some factorial series. To do so we combine methods from elementary and analytic number theory with methods from the theory of uniform distribution.
Linear harmonic number sums had been studied by a variety of authors during the last centuries, but only few results are known about nonlinear Euler sums of quadratic or even higher degree. The first systematic study on nonlinear Euler sums…
An odd prime $p$ is called irregular with respect to Euler polynomials if it divides the numerator of one of the numbers $$E_1(0),E_{3}(0),\ldots,E_{p-2}(0),$$ where $E_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Euler polynomial. As in the classical case, we link…

In this paper we give an alternative construction of a certain class of Deformed Double Current Algebras. These algebras are deformations of $U({\rm End}(\Bbbk^r)[x,y])$ and they were initially defined and studied by N.Guay in his papers.…
