A new class of continued fraction expansions
We prove that, for all integers exceeding some effectively computable number , the distance from to the nearest integer is greater than .
In this note we prove that the equation , , has only finitely many positive integer solutions . Moreover, all solutions satisfy , and .
The paper deals with several criteria for the transcendence of infinite products of the form where is a positive algebraic number having a conjugate such that , and are two sequences of positive integers with some specific conditions. The proofs are based on the recent theorem of Corvaja and Zannier which relies on the Subspace Theorem (P. Corvaja, U. Zannier: On the rational approximation to the powers of an algebraic number: solution of two problems of Mahler and Mendès France, Acta...
