Review text

Summary: In this paper, Popken and Mahler extend a result in \textit{J. Popken}'s dissertation [Über arithmetische Eigenschaften analytischer Funktionen (German). Groningen: Univ. Groningen (Diss.) (1935; Zbl 0013.27004; JFM 61.1136.01)]. In particular, they show that, for any \(q\) with \(0<|q|<1\), at least one of the three numbers \[\sum_{n\ge 1}\frac{q^{2n}}{(1-q^{2n})^2},\quad \sum_{n\ge 1}\frac{q^{2n}}{(1-q^{2n})^4},\quad \sum_{n\ge 1}\frac{q^{2n}}{(1-q^{2n})^6}\] is a transcendental number.
