Abstract

Let FnF_{n} be the nn-th Fibonacci number. Put φ=1+52\varphi=\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}. We prove that the following inequalities hold for any real α\alpha: 1) infnNFnαφ1φ+2\inf_{n \in \mathbb N} ||F_n\alpha||\le\frac{\varphi-1}{\varphi+2}, 2) lim infnFnα1/5\liminf_{n\to \infty}||F_n\alpha||\le 1/5, 3) lim infnφnα1/5\liminf_{n \to \infty}||\varphi^n \alpha||\le 1/5. These results are the best possible.
