Approximation of rational numbers by Dedekind sums

Number Theory 2013-10-04 v1

Abstract

Given a rational number xx and a bound ε\varepsilon, we exhibit m,nm,n such that x12s(m,n)<ε|x-12 s(m,n)|<\varepsilon. Here s(m,n)s(m,n) is the classical Dedekind sum and the parameters mm and nn are completely explicit in terms of xx and ε\varepsilon.
