  2. Irrationality measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrationality_measure

    Rational numbers have irrationality exponent 1, while (as a consequence of Dirichlet's approximation theorem) every irrational number has irrationality exponent at least 2. On the other hand, an application of Borel-Cantelli lemma shows that almost all numbers, including all algebraic irrational numbers , have an irrationality exponent exactly ...

  3. Irrationality sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrationality_sequence

    The powers of two whose exponents are powers of two, , form an irrationality sequence.However, although Sylvester's sequence. 2, 3, 7, 43, 1807, 3263443, ... (in which each term is one more than the product of all previous terms) also grows doubly exponentially, it does not form an irrationality sequence.

  4. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    Examples are e r and π r, which are transcendental for all nonzero rational r. Because the algebraic numbers form a subfield of the real numbers, many irrational real numbers can be constructed by combining transcendental and algebraic numbers. For example, 3 π + 2, π + √ 2 and e √ 3 are irrational (and even transcendental).

  5. Hermite's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite's_problem

    Rational numbers are algebraic numbers that satisfy a polynomial of degree 1, while quadratic irrationals are algebraic numbers that satisfy a polynomial of degree 2. For both these sets of numbers we have a way to construct a sequence of natural numbers (a n) with the property that each sequence gives a unique real number and such that this real number belongs to the corresponding set if and ...

  6. Dedekind cut - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedekind_cut

    Otherwise, that cut defines a unique irrational number which, loosely speaking, fills the "gap" between A and B. [3] In other words, A contains every rational number less than the cut, and B contains every rational number greater than or equal to the cut. An irrational cut is equated to an irrational number which is in neither set.

    The resulting identity is one of the most commonly used in mathematics. Among many uses, it gives a simple proof of the AM–GM inequality in two variables. The proof holds in any commutative ring. Conversely, if this identity holds in a ring R for all pairs of elements a and b, then R is commutative. To see this, apply the distributive law to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roth's_theorem

    The proof technique involves constructing an auxiliary multivariate polynomial in an arbitrarily large number of variables depending upon , leading to a contradiction in the presence of too many good approximations. More specifically, one finds a certain number of rational approximations to the irrational algebraic number in question, and then ...
