Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to study the arithmetical properties of values (sum_{m=0}^{infty} �eta^{-w(m)}), where (�eta) is a fixed Pisot or Salem number and (w(m)) ((m=0,1,ldots)) are distinct sequences of nonnegative integers with (w(m+1)>w(m)) for any sufficiently large (m). We first introduce criteria for the algebraic independence of such values. Our criteria are applicable to certain sequences (w(m)) ((m=0,1,ldots)) with (lim_{m oinfty}w(m+1)/w(m)=1.) For example, we prove that two numbers [sum_{m=1}^{infty}�eta^{-lfloor varphi(1,0;m) floor}, sum_{m=3}^{infty}�eta^{-lfloor varphi(0,1;m) floor}] are algebraically independent, where (varphi(1,0;m)=m^{log m}) and (varphi(0,1;m)=m^{loglog m}). par Moreover, we also give criteria for linear independence of real numbers. Our criteria are applicable to the values (sum_{m=0}^{infty}�eta^{-lfloor m^ ho floor}), where (�eta) is a Pisot or Salem number and ( ho) is a real number greater than 1.
