Numbers Which May or May Not Be Transcendental

Numbers which have neither been proven algebraic nor proven transcendental:

  • Sums, products, powers, etc. of the number π and the number e, except for eπ (Gelfond's constant), which is known to be transcendental: π + e, πe, π·e, π/e, ππ, ee, πe.
  • The Euler–Mascheroni constant γ (which has not been proven to be irrational).
  • Catalan's constant, also not known to be irrational.
  • Apéry's constant, ζ(3) (which Apéry proved is irrational)
  • The Riemann zeta function at other odd integers, ζ(5), ζ(7), ... (not known to be irrational.)
  • The Feigenbaum constants, and .

Conjectures:

  • Schanuel's conjecture,
  • Four exponentials conjecture.

Famous quotes containing the word numbers:

    ... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
