On algebraic independence of three p-adic continued fractions

Abstract

In this paper, we establish sufficient conditions on the elements of the p-adic continued fractions $A$ and $B$ which guarantee that the p-adic continued fractions $A,B$ and $A^B$ are algebraically independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. These elements have partial quotients that increase rapidly. We note that these results extend some work of Bundschuh. Furthermore, we give some numerical examples which illustrated the theoretical results.
