Abstract

top
The main result of this paper implies that for every positive integer d 2 there are at least ( d - 3 ) 2 / 2 nonconjugate algebraic numbers which have their Mahler measures lying in the interval ( 1 , 2 ) . These algebraic numbers are constructed as roots of certain nonreciprocal quadrinomials.
