Abstract

We formalise certain irrationality criteria for infinite series of the form: n=1bni=1nai where {bn} is a sequence of integers and {an} a sequence of positive integers with an>1 for all large n. The results are due to P. Erdős and E. G. Straus [1]. In particular, we formalise Theorem 2.1, Corollary 2.10 and Theorem 3.1. The latter is an application of Theorem 2.1 involving the prime numbers.
