We show that the Hartmanis–Stearns problem can be solved in a satisfactory way for the class of multistack machines. In this direction, our main result is that the base-b expansion of an algebraic irrational real number cannot be generated by a deterministic pushdown automaton. We also confirm an old claim of Cobham proving that such numbers cannot be generated by a tag machine with dilation factor larger than one. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01254293/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01254293/file/HartmanisStearns12%3A01%3A2016.pdf %L hal-01254293 %U https://hal.science/hal-01254293 %~ UNIV-ST-ETIENNE %~ AFRIQ %~ CNRS %~ ICJ %~ UNIV-AMU %~ UNIV-LYON1 %~ UNIV-REUNION %~ INSA-LYON %~ EC-LYON %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ INSMI %~ OPENAIRE %~ LIM %~ I2M %~ I2M-2014- %~ ICJ-CTN %~ PAPANGUE %~ INSA-GROUPE %~ FST-REUNION %~ UDL %~ UNIV-LYON
