An Ultrametric lethargy result and its application to p-adic number theory

Number Theory 2011-12-21 v3

Abstract

In this paper we show a lethargy result in the non-Arquimedian context, for general ultrametric approximation schemes and, as a consequence, we prove the existence of p-adic transcendental numbers whose best approximation errors by algebraic p-adic numbers of degree less than or equal to n decays slowly.
