Continued fractions in the field of $p$--adic numbers have been recently studied by several authors. It is known that the real continued fraction of a positive quadratic irrational is eventually periodic (Lagrange's Theorem). It is still…
Numerical approximate computation can solve large and complex problems fast. It has the advantage of high efficiency. However it only gives approximate results, whereas we need exact results in many fields. There is a gap between…
Our aim is to find a complex continued fraction algorithm finding all the best Diophantine approximations to a complex number. Using the sequence of minimal vectors in a two dimensional lattice over Gaussian integers, we obtain an algorithm…
We consider the question of approximating any real number $\alpha$ by sums of $n$ rational numbers $\frac{a_1}{q_1} + \frac{a_2}{q_2} + ... + \frac{a_n}{q_n}$ with denominators $1 \leq q_1, q_2, ..., q_n \leq N$. This leads to an inquiry on…
We prove a refined version of Markov's theorem in Diophantine approximation. More precisely, we characterize completely the set of irrationals $x$ such that $\left|x-\frac{p}{q}\right|<\frac{1}{3q^2}$ has only finitely many rational…
We propose a new modified primal-dual proximal best approximation method for solving convex not necessarily differentiable optimization problems. The novelty of the method relies on introducing memory by taking into account iterates…
The pigeonhole principle upholds the idea that by ascribing to three different particles either one of two properties, we necessarily end up in a situation when at least two of the particles have the same property. In quantum physics, this…
We prove a theorem about approximation to an irrational number by rational numbers whose denominator n is free of prime factors bigger than a power of log n. We strengthen the result in version 1 by using an exponential sum over smooth…
The Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture answers a question on how well one can approximate irrationals by rational numbers in reduced form (an imposed condition) where the accuracy of the approximation depends on the rational number. It can be…
In this article we obtain new irrationality measures for values of functions which belong to a certain class of hypergeometric functions including shifted logarithmic functions, binomial functions and shifted exponential functions. We…
Interpolation and approximation of functionals with conditionally positive definite kernels is considered on sets of centers that are not determining for polynomials. It is shown that polynomial consistency is sufficient in order to define…
In this paper, exact rate of decrease of best approximations of non-integer numbers by polynomials with integer coefficients of the growing exponentials is found on a disk in complex plane, on a cube in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and on a ball in…
Rough set theory is a new mathematical approach to imperfect knowledge. The notion of rough sets is generalized by using an arbitrary binary relation on attribute values in information systems, instead of the trivial equality relation. The…
We investigate the problem of best simultaneous Diophantine approximation under a constraint on the denominator, as proposed by Jurkat. New lower estimates for optimal approximation constants are given in terms of critical determinants of…
Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…
Following K. Mahler's suggestion for further research on intrinsic approximation on the Cantor ternary set, we obtain a Dirichlet type theorem for the limit sets of rational iterated function systems. We further investigate the behavior of…
Based on rectangle theory of formal concept and set covering theory, the concept reduction preserving binary relations is investigated in this paper. It is known that there are three types of formal concepts: core concepts, relative…

We discuss the use of matrices for providing sequences of rationals that approximate algebraic irrationalities. In particular, we study the regular representation of algebraic extensions, proving that ratios between two entries of the…
In this paper, we establish improved effective irrationality measures for certain numbers of the form $\sqrt[3]{n}$, using approximations obtained from hypergeometric functions. These results are very close to the best possible using this…
