An approximation property of quadratic irrationals

Takao Komatsu (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let α > 1 be irrational. Several authors studied the numbers m ( α ) = inf { | y | : y Λ m , y 0 } , where m is a positive integer and Λ m denotes the set of all real numbers of the form y = ϵ 0 α n + ϵ 1 α n - 1 + + ϵ n - 1 α + ϵ n with restricted integer coefficients | ϵ i | m . The value of 1 ( α ) was determined for many particular Pisot numbers and m ( α ) for the golden number. In this paper the value of  m ( α ) is determined for irrational numbers  α , satisfying α 2 = a α ± 1 with a positive integer a .
