K. Mahler’s conjecture: There exists no <italic>ξ</italic> ∈ ℝ+ such that the fractional parts {<italic>ξ</italic>(3/2)<italic>n</italic>} satisfy 0 <italic>≤</italic> {<italic>ξ</italic>(3/2)<italic>n</italic>} &lt; 1/2 for all <italic>n</italic> = 0, 1, 2,...

K. Mahler’s conjecture: There exists no ξ ∈ ℝ+ such that the fractional parts {ξ(3/2)n} satisfy 0 ≤ {ξ(3/2)n} < 1/2 for all n = 0, 1, 2,... Such a ξ, if exists, is called a Mahler’s Z-number. In this paper we prove that if ξ is a Z-number, then the sequence xn = {ξ(3/2)n}, n =1, 2,... has asymptotic distribution function c0(x), where c0(x)=1 for x ∈ (0, 1].
