Extract

Siegel defined an E-function to be a function which admits a power series expansion

with complex coefficients βn, belonging to some algebraic number field K (of finite degree over the rationals Q), satisfying the following conditions:

(i) Given ε > 0, the maximum of the absolute values of the conjugates of βn, satisfies
