Abstract
In this paper, we establish hybrid results on Diophantine approximation with primes from short intervals. In particular, we prove the following result in a slightly modified form: If is an irrational number having a continued fraction expansion with bounded terms (in particular, if is a quadratic irrational), then the number of primes in the interval satisfying is asymptotically equal to , provided that , and .
