Abstract

K. Mahler’s conjecture: There exists no ξ ∈ R+ such that the fractional parts {ξ(3/2)n} satisfy 0 ≤ {ξ(3/2)n} < 1/2 for all n = 0, 1, 2, . . . Such a ξ, if exists, is called a Mahler’s Z-number. In this paper we prove that if ξ is a Z-number, then the sequence xn = {ξ(3/2)n}, n = 1, 2, . . . has asymptotic distribution function c0(x), where c0(x) = 1 for x ∈ (0, 1].


Keywords

distribution function, fractional part, Z-number.
