Transcendence results on the generating functions of the characteristic functions of certain self-generating sets

Peter Bundschuh, Keijo Väänänen (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

This article continues two papers which recently appeared in this same journal. First, Dilcher and Stolarsky [140 (2009)] introduced two new power series, F(z) and G(z), related to the so-called Stern polynomials and having coefficients 0 and 1 only. Shortly later, Adamczewski [142 (2010)] proved, inter alia, that G(α),G(α⁴) are algebraically independent for any algebraic α with 0 < |α| < 1. Our first key result is that F and G have large blocks of consecutive zero coefficients....

Let α be an algebraic integer of degree d with conjugates α 1 = α , α 2 , ⋯ , α d . In the paper we give a lower bound for the mean value M p ( α ) = 1 d ∑ i = 1 d | log | α i | | p p when α is not a root of unity and p &gt; 1 .

Transcendence results on the generating functions of the characteristic functions of certain self-generating sets, II

Peter Bundschuh, Keijo Väänänen (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

This article continues a previous paper by the authors. Here and there, the two power series F(z) and G(z), first introduced by Dilcher and Stolarsky and related to the so-called Stern polynomials, are studied analytically and arithmetically. More precisely, it is shown that the function field ℂ(z)(F(z),F(z⁴),G(z),G(z⁴)) has transcendence degree 3 over ℂ(z). This main result contains the algebraic independence over ℂ(z) of G(z) and G(z⁴), as well as that of F(z) and F(z⁴). The first...

Nonreciprocal algebraic numbers of small measure

Artūras Dubickas (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

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.
