Effective simultaneous approximation of complex numbers by conjugate algebraic integers

G. J. Rieger (1993)

Acta Arithmetica

We study effectively the simultaneous approximation of n-1 different complex numbers by conjugate algebraic integers of degree n over ℤ(√-1). This is a refinement of a result of Motzkin [2] (see also [3], p. 50) who has no estimate for the remaining conjugate. If the n-1 different complex numbers lie symmetrically about the real axis, then ℤ(√-1) can be replaced by ℤ. In Section 1 we prove an effective version of a Kronecker approximation theorem; we start with an idea of H....

Extensions of the Cugiani-Mahler theorem

Yann Bugeaud (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

In 1955, Roth established that if ξ is an irrational number such that there are a positive real number ε and infinitely many rational numbers p / q with q 1 and | ξ - p / q | < q - 2 - ε , then ξ is transcendental. A few years later, Cugiani obtained the same conclusion with ε replaced by a function q ε ( q ) that decreases very slowly to zero, provided that the sequence of rational solutions to | ξ - p / q | < q - 2 - ε ( q ) is sufficiently dense, in a suitable sense. We give an alternative, and much simpler, proof of Cugiani’s Theorem and extend it to simultaneous...
