Abstract

Let dd be a positive integer. Let pp be a prime number. Let α\alpha be a real algebraic number of degree d+1d+1. We establish that there exist a positive constant cc and infinitely many algebraic numbers ξ\xi of degree dd such that αξmin{\Norm(ξ)p,1}<cH(ξ)d1(log3H(ξ))1/d|\alpha - \xi| \cdot \min\{|\Norm(\xi)|_p,1\} < c H(\xi)^{-d-1} (\log 3 H(\xi))^{-1/d}. Here, H(ξ)H(\xi) and \Norm(ξ)\Norm(\xi) denote the na{\"\i}ve height of ξ\xi and its norm, respectively. This extends an earlier result of de Mathan and Teuli\'e that deals with the case d=1d=1.
