Abstract

top
Let F n be the n -th Fibonacci number. Put ϕ = 1 + 5 2 . We prove that the following inequalities hold for any real α :1) inf n | | F n α | | ϕ - 1 ϕ + 2 ,2) lim inf n | | F n α | | 1 5 ,3) lim inf n | | ϕ n α | | 1 5 .These results are the best possible.

We prove that the following inequalities hold for any real $\alpha $:1) $\inf _{n \in \mathbb{N} } ||F_n\alpha ||\le \frac{\varphi -1}{\varphi +2}$,2) $\liminf _{n\rightarrow \infty }||F_n\alpha ||\le \frac{1}{5}$,3) $\liminf _{n \rightarrow \infty }||\varphi ^n \alpha ||\le \frac{1}{5}$.These results are the best possible.
