A devil's staircase from rotations and irrationality measures for Liouville numbers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 November 2008
Abstract
From Sturmian and Christoffel words we derive a strictly increasing function Δ:[0,∞) → . This function is continuous at every irrational point, while at rational points, left-continuous but not right-continuous. Moreover, it assumes algebraic integers at rationals, and transcendental numbers at irrationals. We also see that the differentiation of Δ distinguishes some irrationality measures of real numbers.
