Let a be an arbitrary positive irrational number. Show that the unit circle |z| = 1 is the natural boundary of the power series 00 f(z) = [[an]z". n=1 This is due to Hecke (1921). The function f(z) is sometimes called the Hecke- Mahler function, being related to Mahler's function of two variables: co [an] Fa(w,z) = Σ Σ w"z" n=1 m=1 by the relation F(1,z) = f(z). Various arithmetical properties of the values of f(z) can be studied by virtue of certain functional equations satisfied by Fa(w, z), F1/a (z, w) and Fk+a (w, z). The author (1982) encountered this function in the study of a mathematical neuron model as a special case of Caianiello's equation (1961).
