E. Maillet proved that the set of Liouville numbers is preserved under rational functions with rational coefficients. Based on this result, a problem posed by Kurt Mahler is to investigate whether there exist entire transcendental functions…
In the early 1900's, Maillet proved that the image of any Liouville number under a rational function with rational coefficients is again a Liouville number. The analogous result for quadratic Liouville matrices in higher dimension turns out…
In 1902, P. St\"{a}ckel proved the existence of a transcendental function $f(z)$, analytic in a neighbourhood of the origin, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse function assume, in this neighbourhood, algebraic values at…
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…
In 1902, P. St\"ackel proved the existence of a transcendental function $f(z)$, analytic in a neighbourhood of the origin, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse function assume, in this neighbourhood, algebraic values at…
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…
In this paper, we shall prove, for any $m\geq 1$, the existence of an uncountable subset of $U$-numbers of type $\leq m$ (which we called the set of {\it $m$-ultra numbers}) for which there exists uncountably many transcendental analytic…
Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…
We present short proofs of the transcendence of the Liouville and the Mahler numbers. The first proof is known for a long time, the second proof apparently appeared only in 2002-2003. The proofs are accessible to high-school students.
Suppose that $F(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[[x]]$ is a Mahler function and that $1/b$ is in the radius of convergence of $F(x)$. In this paper, we consider the approximation of $F(1/b)$ by algebraic numbers. In particular, we prove that $F(1/b)$ cannot…
In this paper, we shall prove that any subset of $\overline{\mathbb Q}\cap B(0,1)$, which is closed under complex conjugation and which contains the element $0$, is the exceptional set of uncountably many transcendental functions, analytic…
We prove the existence of transcendental entire functions $f$ having a property studied by Mahler, namely that $f(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ and $f^{-1}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and…
We establish a Liouville-type inequality for the values, at a common nonzero algebraic point, of arbitrary Mahler Mq-functions. As an application, we prove that no such value is a Liouville number, or even a U -number. This solves a…
In this paper, among other things, we prove that any subset of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^m$ (closed under complex conjugation and which contains the origin) is the exceptional set of uncountable many transcendental entire functions over…
This paper is concerned with Mahler's method. We study in detail the structure of linear relations between values of Mahler functions at algebraic points. In particular, given a field ${\bf k}$, a Mahler function $f(z)\in{\bf k}\{z\}$, and…
This note deals with some effective results in Mahler's method. In a recent work, we used a theorem of Philippon to show that given a Mahler function $f(z)$ in ${\bf k}\{z\}$, where ${\bf k}$ denotes a number field, and an algebraic number…
In this note, the main focus is on a question about transcendental entire functions mapping $\mathbb{Q}$ into $\mathbb{Q}$ (which is related to a Mahler's problem). In particular, we prove that, for any $t>0$, there is no a transcendental…
Mahler equations arise in a wide range of contexts including the study of finite automata, regular sequences, algebraic series over Fp(z), and periods of Drinfeld modules. Introduced a century ago by K. Mahler to study the transcendence of…
In 1972, Alnia\c{c}ik proved that every strong Liouville number is mapped into the set of $U_m$-numbers, for any non-constant rational function with coefficients belonging to an $m$-degree number field. In this paper, we generalize this…
In 1909, Hardy gave an example of a transcendental entire function, $f$, with the property that the set of points where $f$ achieves its maximum modulus, $\mathcal{M}(f)$, has infinitely many discontinuities. This is one of only two known…
