Borel's conjecture on binary string complexity of algebraic numbers

From papers

Let r(0,1)r\in(0,1) be an irrational algebraic real, and let pr(m)p_r(m) denote the number of distinct binary words of length mm occurring in the binary expansion of rr. Borel's conjecture. The binary string complexity of rr should satisfy

pr(m)=2m.p_r(m)=2^m.

This conjecture asserts that every possible binary word of each length occurs in the expansion of an irrational algebraic number. It was proven in 2007 by B. Adamczewski and Y. Bugeaud.
