The "pyjama stripe" with parameter $\varepsilon>0$ is the set $E(\varepsilon)$ of all complex numbers $z$ such that the distance from $\Re(z)$ to the nearest integer is at most $\varepsilon$. The Pyjama Problem of Iosevich, Kolountzakis,…

We investigate the number of integer solutions to a multiplicative Diophantine approximation problem and show that the associated counting function converges in distribution to a normal law. Our approach relies on the analysis of…

This paper addresses a problem recently raised by Laurent and Nogueira about inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation with coprime integers. As a corollary of our main theorem we obtain an improvement of the best known exponent of…

Let $1<k<14/5$, $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ and $\lambda_4$ be non-zero real numbers, not all of the same sign such that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational and let $\omega$ be a real number. We prove that the inequality…

As it follows from the theory of almost periodic functions the set of integer solutions $q$ to the Kronecker system $|\omega_{j} q - \theta_{j}| < \varepsilon \pmod 1$, $j=1,\ldots,m$, where $1,\omega_{1},\ldots,\omega_{m}$ are linearly…

Diophantine approximation is the problem of approximating a real number by rational numbers. We propose a version of this in which the numerators are approximately related to the denominators by a Laurent polynomial. Our definition is…

We refine a result of the last two Authors of [8] on a Diophantine approximation problem with two primes and a $k$-th power of a prime which was only proved to hold for $1<k<4/3$. We improve the $k$-range to $1<k\le 3$ by combining Harman's…

There are two main interrelated goals of this paper. Firstly we investigate the sums \[ S_N(\alpha,\gamma):=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{1}{n\|n\alpha-\gamma\|}~~~\text{and}~~~ R_N(\alpha,\gamma):=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{1}{\|n\alpha-\gamma\|}\,, \] where…

Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…

We study the effects of rounding on the moments of random variables. Specifically, given a random variable $X$ and its rounded counterpart $\operatorname{rd}(X)$, we study $|\mathbb{E}[X^k] - \mathbb{E}[\operatorname{rd}(X)^{k}]|$ for…

The distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $\alpha$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $\nu>0$ one can establish the infinitude…

Let $f = \sum_{k=0}^n \varepsilon_k z^k$ be a random polynomial, where $\varepsilon_0,\ldots ,\varepsilon_n$ are iid standard Gaussian random variables, and let $\zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_n$ denote the roots of $f$. We show that the point…

Let $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and suppose we are given $k$ integers $1 \leq a_1, \dots, a_k \leq n$. If $\sqrt{a_1} + \dots + \sqrt{a_k}$ is not an integer, how close can it be to one? When $k=1$, the distance to the nearest integer is $\gtrsim…

We aim to fill a gap in the proof of an inequality relating two exponents of uniform Diophantine approximation stated in a paper by Bugeaud. We succeed to verify the inequality in several instances, in particular for small dimension.…

A basic question of Diophantine approximation, which is the first issue we discuss, is to investigate the rational approximations to a single real number. Next, we consider the algebraic or polynomial approximations to a single complex…

The "pyjama stripe" is the subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ consisting of a vertical strip of width $2 \varepsilon$ around every integer $x$-coordinate. The "pyjama problem" asks whether finitely many rotations of the pyjama stripe around the…

Motivated by the random covering problem and the study of Dirichlet uniform approximable numbers, we investigate the uniform random covering problem. Precisely, consider an i.i.d. sequence $\omega=(\omega_n)_{n\geq 1}$ uniformly distributed…

We consider the problem of approaching real numbers with rational numbers with prime denominator and with a single numerator allowed for each denominator. We obtain basic results, both probabilistic and deterministic, draw connections to…

We investigate approximation to a given real number by algebraic numbers and algebraic integers of prescribed degree. We deal with both best and uniform approximation, and highlight the similarities and differences compared with the…

We prove that almost all real numbers (with respect to Lebesgue measure) are approximated by the convergents of their $\beta$-expansions with the exponential order $\beta^{-n}$. Moreover, the Hausdorff dimensions of sets of the real numbers…
