DECIMAL EXPANSIONS: THEIR UNIQUENESS AND INTERESTING PATTERNS
Journal Title: Journal of Ramanujan Society of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
An expression of the form o.abcd... written by arbitrarily picking up a, b, c, d ... from among 0 to 9, cannot be taken to represent the decimal expansion of a real number. In fact, the decimal expansion of every irrational number is unique in itself whereas those of rational numbers (fractions) follow some interesting patterns. These results are of far-reaching consequences in the context of Cantor's second proof (1878) about the uncountability of real numbers.

In this paper, rst we evaluate a class of MacRobert's integral associ- ated with the multivariable I-function de ned by Nambisan et al [3], secondly we evaluate a class of MacRobert's with. the generalized incomplete hy...
A VARIANT OF THE TYPE-1 BETA AND DIRICHLET INTEGRALS
A double integral, which can be taken as an extension of a type-1 beta integral, is introduced and its properties are studied. Than a $k$-variate multiple integral on a unit cube in Euclidean $k$-space is introduced, whi...
