Analytic estimates #
Uniform bounds on the Niven auxiliary polynomials, controlling the size of the
integral appearing in Niven's proof of the transcendence of π.
There is a uniform bound
‖a * exp(-(t a)) * Fₚ(t a)‖ ≤ ‖a‖ᵖ * exp(‖a‖) * Mᵖ for 0 < t ≤ 1.
The weighted sum ∑ᵢ bᵢ exp(aᵢ) ∫₀¹ aᵢ * exp(-(t aᵢ)) * T(t aᵢ) dt is ≤ A Bᵖ.
For p large, cᵖ ‖∑ᵢ bᵢ exp(aᵢ) ∫₀¹ aᵢ * exp(-(t aᵢ)) * T(t aᵢ) dt‖ is ≤ (p - 1)!.
We have that F_{p,d}(0) ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ eᵃⁱ − ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ F_{p,d}(aᵢ) can be written as
((p−1)! T(0)ᵖ + p! Gₚ(0)) ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ eᵃⁱ − p! ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ Gₚ(aᵢ).
The sum ∑ᵢ bᵢ exp(aᵢ) ∫₀¹ aᵢ * exp(-(t aᵢ)) * T(t aᵢ) dt
can be as ((p−1)! T(0)ᵖ + p! Gₚ(0)) ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ eᵃⁱ − p! ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ Gₚ(aᵢ).
If cᵖ ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ Gₚ(aᵢ) = f(p) ∈ ℤ, then
cᵖ (((p−1)! T(0)ᵖ + p! Gₚ(0)) · (-k) − p! ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ Gₚ(aᵢ)) is equal to
− (p−1)! (k cᵖ T(0)ᵖ + p (k cᵖ Gₚ(0) + f(p))).
If cᵖ ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ Gₚ(aᵢ) = f(p) ∈ ℤ, then for sufficiently large primes p,
‖cᵖ (((p−1)! T(0)ᵖ + p! Gₚ(0)) · (-k) − p! ∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ⁻¹ bᵢ Gₚ(aᵢ))‖ ≥ (p - 1)!.
