New Gelfond-Type Transcendental Numbers

Abstract: It is well known that value at a non-zero algebraic number of each of the functions

e^{x}, l n x, s i n x, c o s x, a n x, c s c x, s e c x, c o t x, s i n h x,

c o s h x,

a n h x,

and

c o t h x

is transcendental number (see Theorem 9.11 of cite{N}). In the work, we show that for any one of the above mentioned functions,

f (x)

, and for a polynomial

g (x)

with rational coefficients the zero, if any, of the equation

f (x) = g (x)

is a transcendental number. We also show that if

f (x)

and

g (x)

are polynomials with rational coefficients, then a zero of the equation

e^{f (x)} = g (x)

is a transcendental number. Finally we show that the existence of an abelian group whose non-zero elements are transcendental numbers.
