Title: On the irrationality of certain series. (In English)
Source: Pac. J. Math. 55, 85-92 (1973).
Review: A criterion is established for the rationality of series of the form sum bn/a1 ... an where an,bn are integers, an \geq 2 and lim bn/(an-1an) = 0. This criterion is applied to prove the irrationality and rational independence of certain special series of the above type.
