Abstract
As an analogue of Mahler’s classification for real numbers, Bundschuh introduced a classification for Laurent series over a finite field, divided into $A,S,T,U$-numbers. It is known that each of the sets of $A,S,U$-numbers is nonempty. On the other hand, the existence of $T$-numbers has been an open problem. In this paper, we prove that they exist.
