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....

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.

Totally positive algebraic integers of small trace

Chistopher J. Smyth (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let α be a totally positive algebraic integer, with the difference between its trace and its degree at most 6. We describe an algorithm for finding all such α , and display the resulting list of 1314 values of α which the algorithm produces.

Lower Bounds on the Directed Sweepwidth of Planar Shapes

Markov, Minko, Haralampiev, Vladislav, Georgiev, Georgi (2015)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

We investigate a recently introduced width measure of planar shapes called sweepwidth and prove a lower bound theorem on the sweepwidth.
