- Description
- Let be the generating series of the regular paperfolding sequence. For a real number α the irrationality exponent μ(α), of α, is defined as the supremum of the set of real numbers μ such that the inequality {pipe}α-p/q{pipe} < q -μ has infinitely many solutions (p, q) ∈ ℤ × ℕ. In this paper, using a method introduced by Bugeaud, we prove that for all integers b ≥ 2. This improves upon the previous bound of μ(F(1/b))≤5 given by Adamczewski and Rivoal.
