Is $ 0.112123123412345123456\dots $ algebraic or transcendental?

Obviously, it can be outputed by Turing Machine in real time. Thus under the Hartmanis-Stearns conjecture, it is a transcendental number.


I believe your number can be written as

$$\sum _{j=1}^\infty 10^{-\sum _{m=1}^{j+\frac{1}{2}} \sum _{n=1}^m \left\lceil \log _{10}(n+1)\right\rceil } \left\lfloor c 10^{\sum _{n=0}^j \left\lceil \log _{10}(n+1)\right\rceil }\right\rfloor$$

where $c$ is the Champernowne constant.

Don't know if that helps.


Your number can be written with the following formula: $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{ \sum_{r=1}^n r(10)^{n-r}}{10^{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}}$$ I don't know how to prove it is transcendental, but I hope this helps!
