Yang Bai, Xiuli Wang

TL;DR
This paper applies Kolmogorov Complexity to address two longstanding number theory problems, offering a novel approach that bridges computational complexity and traditional mathematics.
Contribution
It introduces a new method using Kolmogorov Complexity to solve problems in number theory, expanding the application of computational concepts beyond logical disciplines.
Findings
Solved the problem of identifying non-period numbers using Kolmogorov Complexity.
Addressed the existence of bounded continued fraction coefficients for transcendental numbers.
Proposed a new perspective linking computational complexity with classical mathematical problems.
Abstract
By Kolmogorov Complexity,two number-theoretic problems are solved in different way than before,one problem is Maxim Kontsevich and Don Bernard Zagier's Problem 3 \emph{Exhibit at least one number which does not belong to} (period number) in their paper,another is the problem about existence of bounded coefficients of continued fraction expansion of transcendental number.Thus we show a new approach to mathematical problems in the non-logical discipline.Futhermore,we show that resource-bounded Kolmogorov Complexity and computational complexity can at least provide tips or principles to mathematical problems in the non-traditional or logical discipline.
