초월수의 연구는 2000년 이상 수학자들을 괴롭혀 왔던 고대 그리스의 기하학 문제의 하나인 원적문제가 불가능하다는 것을 보여줌으로써 수학사의 중요한 분야임을 입증하였다. Liouville은 1844년에 처음으로 구체적인 초월수의 예를 제시하였고, 칸토어는 1874년에 초월수의 존재성을 증명하였다. Louville 정리는 많은 초월수를 만들어 낼 뿐 아니라 초월수의 존재성을 증명하는데 이용할 수 있다. 1873년에 Hermite가 자연로그의 밑수 e가 초월수임을 보이고, 1882년에 Lindemann이 원주율 $\pi$가 초월수임 증명하였다. 1934년에 Gelfond와 Schneider는 각각 힐버트의 7번째 문제에 대한 서로 다른 완전한 해를 찾았다. 1966년에 Baker는 Gelfond-Schneider 정리의 일반화된 결과를 증명하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 초월수의 개념과 발달과정을 살피고, 미해결 문제를 제시하여 초월수의 연구가 촉진되도록 후학들에게 연구 동기를 부여하고자 한다.

As a by-product of [4], we give algebraic integers of certain values of quotients of Weierstrass $\delta'(\tau),\delta'(\tau)$-functions. We also show that special values of elliptic functions are transcendental numbers.

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, h the complex upper half plane, and let $\tau{\in}h{\cap}k,\;q=e^{{\pi}i\tau}$. In this article, we obtain algebraic numbers from the 130 identities of Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions investigated in [28] and [29] by using Berndt's idea ([3]). Using this, we get special transcendental numbers. For example, $\frac{q^{1/8}}{1}+\frac{-q}{1+q}+\frac{-q^2}{1+q^2}+\cdots$ ([1]) is transcendental.

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, η the complex upper half plane, and let $\tau$ $\in$ η $textsc{k}$, p = $e^{{\pi}i{\tau}}$. In this article, using the infinite product formulas for g2 and g3, we prove that values of certain infinite products are transcendental whenever $\tau$ are imaginary quadratic. And we derive analogous results of Berndt-Chan-Zhang ([4]). Also we find the values of (equation omitted) when we know j($\tau$). And we construct an elliptic curve E : $y^2$ = $x^3$ ＋ 3 $x^2$ ＋ {3-(j/256)}x ＋ 1 with j = j($\tau$) $\neq$ 0 and P = (equation omitted) $\in$ E.

Arithmetic education is based not only on concept but also fundamentally on intuition. Pestalozzi understood time, a Kant's transcendental intuition, as numbers, a form of cognition, so that he considered intuition essential in arithmetic education. Pestalozzi and Herbart also recommended the intuitive arithmetic education. Significance of the arithmetic education based on intuition resides in the fact that arithmetic, an expression of nature and the world, is succeeded to modern arithmetic education because numbers, a cornerstone of mathematics, are symbolized as a law of mind reasoning.

A family of $Ap{\acute{e}}ry$-like series involving reciprocals of central binomial coefficients is studied and it is shown that they represent transcendental numbers. The structure of such series is further examined in terms of finite combinations of logarithms and arctangents with arguments and coefficients belonging to a suitable algebraic extension of rationals. Monotonicity of certain quotients of weighted binomial sums which arise in the study of competitive cheap talk models is established with the help of a continuous extension of the discrete model at hand. The monotonic behavior of such quotients turns out to have important applications in game theory.

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, h the complex upper half plane, and let $\tau{\in}h{\cap}k$, $q=e^{{\pi}i\tau}$. We find a lot of algebraic properties derived from theta functions, and by using this we explore some new algebraic numbers from Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions.

In this paper, we prove that if $f^nf'\;-\;P$ and $g^ng'\;-\;P$ share 0 CM, where f and g are two distinct transcendental meromorphic functions, $n\;{\geq}\;11$ is a positive integer, and P is a nonzero polynomial such that its degree ${\gamma}p\;{\leq}\;11$, then either $f\;=\;c_1e^{cQ}$ and $g\;=\;c_2e^{-cQ}$, where $c_1$, $c_2$ and c are three nonzero complex numbers satisfying $(c_1c_2)^{n+1}c^2\;=\;-1$, Q is a polynomial such that $Q\;=\;\int_o^z\;P(\eta)d{\eta}$, or f = tg for a complex number t such that $t^{n+1}\;=\;1$. The results in this paper improve those given by M. L. Fang and H. L. Qiu, C. C. Yang and X. H. Hua, and other authors.

This study presents critical buckling load optimization of the axially graded layered uniform columns. In the first place, characteristic equations for the critical buckling loads for all boundary conditions are obtained using the transfer matrix method. Then, for each case, square of this equation is taken as a fitness function together with constraints. Due to explicitly unavailable objective function for the critical buckling loads as a function of segment length and volume fraction of the materials, especially for the column structures with higher segment numbers, initially, prescribed value is assumed for it and then the design variables satisfying constraints are searched using Differential Evolution (DE) optimization method coupled with eigen-value routine. For constraint handling, Exterior Penalty Function formulation is adapted to the optimization cycle. Different boundary conditions are considered. The results reveal that maximum increments in the critical buckling loads are attained about 20% for cantilevered and pinned-pinned end conditions and 18% for clamped-clamped case. Finally, the strongest column structure configurations will be determined. The scientific and statistical results confirmed efficiency, reliability and robustness of the Differential Evolution optimization method and it can be used in the similar problems which especially include transcendental functions.

In this article, we consider the uniqueness problem of the shift polynomials $f^n(z)(f^m(z)-1){\prod\limits_{j=1}^{s}}f(z+c_j)^{{\mu}_j}$ and $f^n(z)(f(z)-1)^m{\prod\limits_{j=1}^{s}}f(z+c_j)^{{\mu}_j}$, where f(z) is a transcendental entire function of finite order, cj (j = 1, 2, …, s) are distinct finite complex numbers and n(≥ 1), m(≥ 1), s and µj (j = 1, 2, …, s) are integers. With the concept of weakly weighted sharing and relaxed weighted sharing we obtain some results which extend and generalize some results due to P. Sahoo [Commun. Math. Stat. 3 (2015), 227-238].
