Transcendence measure of e^{1/n}

Abstract: For a given transcendental number

x i

and for any polynomial

P (X) = : l a m b d a_{0} + c d o t s + l a m b d a_{k} X^{k} i n m a t h b b Z [X]

, we know that

P (x i) e q 0.

Let

k g e q 1

and

o m e g a (k, H)

be the infimum of the numbers

r > 0

satisfying the estimate

left|lambda_0+lambda_1 xi+lambda_2 xi^{2}+ ldots +lambda_kxi^{k} ight| > frac{1}{H^r},

for all

(l a m b d a_{0}, l d o t s, l a m b d a_{k})^{T} i n m a t h b b Z^{k + 1} s e t m i n u s o v e r l i n e 0

with

m a x_{1 l e i l e k} | l a m b d a_{i} | l e H

. Any function greater than or equal to

o m e g a (k, H)

is a {it transcendence measure of

x i

}. In this article, we find out a transcendence measure of

e^{1 / n}

which improves a result proved by Mahler(cite{Mahler}) in 1975.
