$e$无理数的几何证明及其无理数的一个新度量

A geometric proof that $e$ is irrational and a new measure of its irrationality

Jonathan Sondow

摘要:

我们给出了一个简单的几何证明,$e$是无理的,使用一个结构的嵌套序列的闭区间的交集$e$。这个证明导致了$e$的一个新的非理性度量:如果$p$和$q$是整数,且$q > 1$,那么$|e - p/q| > 1/(S(q)+1)!$,其中$S(q)$是最小的正整数,使得$S(q)!$是$q$的倍数。我们将此措施$e$一个已知的和最大的素数因子的整数。我们做了两个假设,并回顾了康托的一个定理,可以证明一个类似的结构。

英文摘要:

We give a simple geometric proof that $e$ is irrational, using a construction of a nested sequence of closed intervals with intersection $e$. The proof leads to a new measure of irrationality for $e$: if $p$ and $q$ are integers with $q > 1$, then $|e - p/q| > 1/(S(q)+1)!$, where $S(q)$ is the smallest positive integer such that $S(q)!$ is a multiple of $q$. We relate this measure for $e$ to a known one and to the greatest prime factor of an integer. We make two conjectures and recall a theorem of Cantor that can be proved by a similar construction.
