β¦ Synopsis
We prove the transcendence results for the infinite product
, where E k (x), F k (x) are polynomials, Ξ± is an algebraic number, and r 2 is an integer. As applications, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for transcendence of β k=0 (1
), where F n and L n are Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers respectively, and {a k } k 0 is a sequence of algebraic numbers with log a k = o(r k ).

As an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, a sufficiency condition is derived for a series of positive rational terms to converge to a transcendental number. This condition is then used to obtain similar sufficiency conditions that exist within th
Duverney and Nishioka [D. Duverney, Ku. Nishioka, An inductive method for proving the transcendence of certain series, Acta Arith. 110 (4) (2003) 305-330] studied the transcendence of k 0 , where E k (z), F k (z) are polynomials, Ξ± is an algebraic number, and r is an integer greater than 1, using a
