On the complexity of algebraic numbers. (Sur la complexité des nombres algébriques.) (French) Zbl 1119.11019

Summary: Let \(b> 2\) be an integer. We prove that real numbers whose \(b\)-ary expansion satisfies some given, simple, combinatorial condition are transcendental. This implies that the \(b\)-ary expansion of any algebraic irrational number cannot be generated by a finite automaton.
