A new lower bound for ( 3 / 2 ) k

Wadim Zudilin (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We prove that, for all integers k exceeding some effectively computable number  K , the distance from ( 3 / 2 ) k to the nearest integer is greater than 0 . 5803 k .

A note on the diophantine equation k 2 - 1 = q n + 1

Maohua Le (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In this note we prove that the equation k 2 - 1 = q n + 1 , q 2 , n 3 , has only finitely many positive integer solutions ( k , q , n ) . Moreover, all solutions ( k , q , n ) satisfy k 10 10 182 , q 10 10 165 and n 2 · 10 17 .

A note on the transcendence of infinite products

Jaroslav Hančl, Ondřej Kolouch, Simona Pulcerová, Jan Štěpnička (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The paper deals with several criteria for the transcendence of infinite products of the form n = 1 [ b n α a n ] / b n α a n where α > 1 is a positive algebraic number having a conjugate α * such that α | α * | > 1 , { a n } n = 1 and { b n } n = 1 are two sequences of positive integers with some specific conditions. The proofs are based on the recent theorem of Corvaja and Zannier which relies on the Subspace Theorem (P. Corvaja, U. Zannier: On the rational approximation to the powers of an algebraic number: solution of two problems of Mahler and Mendès France, Acta...

A note on the weighted Khintchine-Groshev Theorem

Mumtaz Hussain, Tatiana Yusupova (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let W ( m , n ; ψ ̲ ) denote the set of ψ 1 , ... , ψ n –approximable points in m n . The classical Khintchine–Groshev theorem assumes a monotonicity condition on the approximating functions ψ ̲ . Removing monotonicity from the Khintchine–Groshev theorem is attributed to different authors for different cases of m and n . It can not be removed for m = n = 1 as Duffin–Schaeffer provided the counter example. We deal with the only remaining case m = 2 and thereby remove all unnecessary conditions from the Khintchine–Groshev theorem.
