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.…

Let $r$ and $s$ be multiplicatively independent positive integers. We establish that the $r$-ary expansion and the $s$-ary expansion of an irrational real number, viewed as infinite words on $\{0, 1, \ldots , r-1\}$ and $\{0, 1, \ldots ,…

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…

Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate Hilbert's tenth problem in the domain of integer arithmetics into problems involving either a set of infinitely-coupled non-linear differential equations or a class of linear Schr\"odinger…

We develop a theory of linear Mahler systems in several variables from the perspective of transcendence and algebraic independence, which also includes the possibility of dealing with several systems associated with sufficiently independent…

Is it possible to distinguish algebraic from transcendental real numbers by considering the $b$-ary expansion in some base $b\ge2$? In 1950, \'E. Borel suggested that the answer is no and that for any real irrational algebraic number $x$…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer and $\xi$ an irrational real number. We establishes that, if the irrationality exponent of $\xi$ is less than $2.324 \ldots$, then the $b$-ary expansion of $\xi$ cannot be `too simple', in a suitable sense. This…

We study some diophantine properties of automatic real numbers and we present a method to derive irrationality measures for such numbers. As a consequence, we prove that the $b$-adic expansion of a Liouville number cannot be generated by a…

Quantum state processing is one of the main tools of quantum technologies. While real systems are complicated and/or may be driven by non-ideal control they may nevertheless exhibit simple dynamics approximately confined to a low-energy…

We make certain bounds in Krebs' proof of Cobham's theorem explicit and obtain corresponding upper bounds on the length of a common prefix of an aperiodic $a$-automatic sequence and an aperiodic $b$-automatic sequence, where $a$ and $b$ are…

The continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $\alpha$ is eventually periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrationality. However, very little is known regarding the size of the partial quotients of algebraic real…

Let $b \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$b$ Zuckerman number if it is divisible by the product of its base-$b$ digits. Let $\mathcal{Z}_b(x)$ be the set of base-$b$ Zuckerman numbers that do not exceed…

In this paper we give a generalization of the main results in \cite{ab,ab1} about $b$-ary expansions of algebraic numbers. As a byproduct we get a large class of new transcendence criteria. One of our corollaries implies that $b$-ary…

we derive new, improved lower bounds for the block complexity of an irrational algebraic number and for the number of digit changes in the b-ary expansion of an irrational algebraic number. To this end, we apply a quantitative version of…

We explore the class of real numbers that are computed in real time by deterministic chemical reaction networks that are integral in the sense that all their reaction rate constants are positive integers. We say that such a reaction network…

In this work we study the space complexity of computable real numbers represented by fast convergent Cauchy sequences. We show the existence of families of trascendental numbers which are logspace computable, as opposed to algebraic…

In order to prove irrationality of \sqrt{2} by using only decimal expansions (and not fractions), we develop in detail a model of real numbers based on infinite decimals and arithmetic operations with them.

During my study of the iteration of functions of the form $f(z)=z^{\alpha}+c$, where $z,c \in \mathbbC$, and $\alpha$ is a rational non-integer larger than 2 (\cite{s1}), I encountered a fundamental difficulty in the exponentiation of a…

Consider $\alpha \in \Q(i)$ satisfying $|\alpha| >1$. Let $\D = \{0,1,\ldots,|a_0|-1\}$, where $a_0$ is the independent coefficient of the minimal primitive polynomial of $\alpha$. We introduce a way of expanding complex numbers in base…

Let $r \ge 2$ and $s \ge 2$ be multiplicatively dependent integers. We establish a lower bound for the sum of the block complexities of the $r$-ary expansion and of the $s$-ary expansion of an irrational real number, viewed as infinite…
