Let $n$ be a positive integer and $\xi$ a transcendental real number. We are interested in bounding from above the uniform exponent of polynomial approximation $\widehat{\omega}_n(\xi)$. Davenport and Schmidt's original 1969 inequality…

We establish new inequalities involving classical exponents of Diophantine approximation. This allows for improving on the work of Davenport, Schmidt and Laurent concerning the maximum value of the exponent $\hat{\lambda}_{n}(\zeta)$ among…

For $\zeta$ a transcendental real number, we consider the classical Diophantine exponents $w_{n}(\zeta)$ and $\widehat{w}_{n}(\zeta)$. They measure how small $| P(\zeta)|$ can be for an integer polynomial $P$ of degree at most $n$ and naive…

Let $\zeta$ be a real transcendental number. We introduce a new method to find upper bounds for the classical exponent $\widehat{w}_{n}(\zeta)$ concerning uniform polynomial approximation. Our method is based on the parametric geometry of…

We study the Diophantine properties of a new class of transcendental real numbers which contains, among others, Roy's extremal numbers, Bugeaud-Laurent Sturmian continued fractions, and more generally the class of Sturmian type numbers. We…

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.…

In this paper we aim to prove two inequalities involving the classical approximation constants $w_{n}^{\prime}(\zeta),\hat{w}_{n}^{\prime}(\zeta)$ that stem from the simultaneous approximation problem $|\zeta^{j}x-y_{j}|$, $1\leq j\leq n$,…

Using the Parametric Geometry of Numbers introduced recently by W.M. Schmidt and L. Summerer and results by D. Roy, we establish that the spectrum of the $2n$ exponents of Diophantine approximation in dimension $n\geq3$ is a subset of…

Recently, W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer introduced a new theory which allowed them to recover the main known inequalities relating the usual exponents of Diophantine approximation to a point in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and to discover new ones. They…

We establish several new inequalities linking classical exponents of Diophantine approximation associated to a real vector $\underline{\xi}=(\xi,\xi^{2},\ldots,\xi^{N})$, in various dimensions $N$. We thereby obtain variants, and partly…

We give several upper bounds for the uniform simultaneous Diophantine exponent $\widehat{\lambda}_n(\xi)$ of a transcendental number $\xi\in\mathbb{R}$. The most important one relates $\widehat{\lambda}_n(\xi)$ and the ordinary simultaneous…

Let $b\geq 2$ be an integer and $\hv$ a real number. Among other results, we compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of real numbers $\xi$ with the property that, for every sufficiently large integer $N$, there exists an integer $n$ such…

Using the Parametric Geometry of Numbers introduced recently by W.M. Schmidt and L. Summerer and results by D. Roy, we show that German's transference inequalities between the two most classical exponents of uniform Diophantine…

In Diophantine approximation, inhomogeneous problems are linked with homogeneous ones by means of the so-called Transference Theorems. We revisit this classical topic by introducing new exponents of Diophantine approximation. We prove that…

We provide an upper bound on the uniform exponent of approximation to a triple (xi, xi^2, xi^3) by rational numbers with the same denominator, valid for any transcendental real number xi. This upper bound refines a previous result of…

Let $0<m<n$ be integers, and let $K_w$ denote the completion of a number field $K$ at a non-trivial place $w$. For each non-zero $\textbf{u}\in K_w^n$, let $\omega_{m-1}(\textbf{u})$ denote the exponent of best approximation to $\textbf{u}$…

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 obtain some new inequalities between the ordinary and the uniform Diophantine exponents for simultaneous Diophantine approximation to four real numbers.

We generalize the construction of Roy's Fibonacci type numbers to the case of a Sturmian recurrence and we determine the classical exponents of approximation $\omega_2(\xi)$, $\widehat{\omega}_2(\xi)$, $\lambda_2(\xi)$,…

In this paper we prove an inequality for individual and uniform Diophantine exponents in the case of simultaneous approximation. This inequality is better than Jarnik's for small values of the uniform exponent.
