Searching for Apery-Style Miracles [Using, Inter-Alia, the Amazing Almkvist-Zeilberger Algorithm]
Roger Apery's seminal method for proving irrationality is "turned on its
head" and taught to computers, enabling a one second redux of the original
proof of zeta(3), and many new irrationality proofs of many new constants,
alas, none of them is both famous and not-yet-proved-irrational.Comment: 16 pages. Exclusively published in the Personal Journal of Shalosh B.

Thue's Fundamentaltheorem, I: The General Case
In this paper, Thue's Fundamentaltheorem is analysed. We show that it
includes, and often strengthens, known effective irrationality measures
obtained via the so-called hypergeometric method as well as showing that it can
be applied to previously unconsidered families of algebraic numbers.
Furthermore, we extend the method to also cover approximation by algebraic
numbers in imaginary quadratic number fields.Comment: accepted version (Acta Arithmetica
