Numbers Proved To Be Transcendental
Numbers proved to be transcendental:
- ea if a is algebraic and nonzero (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
- π (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
- eπ, Gelfond's constant, as well as e-π/2=i i (by the Gelfond–Schneider theorem).
- ab where a is algebraic but not 0 or 1, and b is irrational algebraic (by the Gelfond–Schneider theorem), in particular:
- , the Gelfond–Schneider constant (Hilbert number).
- sin(a), cos(a) and tan(a), and their multiplicative inverses csc(a), sec(a) and cot(a), for any nonzero algebraic number a (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
- ln(a) if a is algebraic and not equal to 0 or 1, for any branch of the logarithm function (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
- W(a) if a is algebraic and nonzero, for any branch of the Lambert W Function (by the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem).
- Γ(1/3), Γ(1/4), and Γ(1/6).
- 0.12345678910111213141516..., the Champernowne constant.
- Ω, Chaitin's constant (since it is a non-computable number).
- The Fredholm number ; more generally, any number of the form with algebraic.
- The Prouhet–Thue–Morse constant.
- Any number for which the digits with respect to some fixed base form a Sturmian word.
- where and is the floor function.
