Abstract: Let

l a m b d a_{1}, l d o t s, l a m b d a_{k}

and

a l p h a_{1}, l d o t s, a l p h a_{k}

be nonzero algebraic numbers for some integer

k g e q 1

and let

L = m a t h b b Q (l a m b d a_{1}, l d o t s, l a m b d a_{k}, a l p h a_{1}, l d o t s, a l p h a_{k})

be the number field. In this article, we classify the tuples

(a l p h a_{1}, l d o t s, a l p h a_{k})

such that the sum

l a m b d a_{1} a l p h a_{1}^{n} + c d o t s + l a m b d a_{k} a l p h a_{k}^{n}

takes values inside

m a t h c a l O_{L}

for

n

in a finite set or an infinite set. In another interesting result, we prove that for rational functions

f_{i}

with algebraic coefficients, if the sum

for infinitely many values of

n i n m a t h b b N

, then via the subspace theorem, we prove that

. Our approach generalizes the classical question of sufficient conditions for algebraic integers using trace operators. We also give a different proof of Fatou's Lemma over number fields.
