Is Champernowne's constant Liouville?

167 Views Asked by At

By looking at extreme spikes of Champernowne's constant and how well it's approximated by some rational numbers I think it's reasonable to think that this is a Liouville number. However, no source I could find answered the question. Is the answer known?

Thanks in advance!

The irrationality measure of the base $10$ Champernowne constant is $10$ (and similarly for other bases is the base).

The irrationality measure of Liouville numbers is infinite.

So a Champernowne constant is not a Liouville number.
