Abstract
In this paper, using an argument of P. Erdős, K. Alniaçik, and É. Saias, we extend earlier results on Liouville numbers, due to P. Erdős, G.J. Rieger, W. Schwarz, K. Alniaçik, É. Saias, E.B. Burger. We also produce new results of algebraic independence related with Liouville numbers and Schanuel’s Conjecture, in the framework of \({G_\delta}\) -subsets.
