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 $\omega_2(\xi)$, $\widehat{\omega}_2(\xi)$, $\lambda_2(\xi)$,…

The function $Q(x):=\sum_{n\ge 1} (1/n) \sin(x/n)$ was introduced by Hardy and Littlewood [10] in their study of Lambert summability, and since then it has attracted attention of many researchers. In particular, this function has made a…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of simultaneously $q^{-\lambda}$-well approximable points on the Veronese curve in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $\lambda$ between $\frac{1}{n}$ and $\frac{2}{2n-1}$. For $n=3$, the same result is given…

Let $p/q$ ($p, q \in \mathbb{N}^*$) be a positive rational number such that $p > q^2$. We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a set $A(\epsilon) \subset [0, 1[$, with finite border and with Lebesgue measure $< \epsilon$, for…

We prove that there exist arbitrarily small positive real numbers $\epsilon$ such that every integral power $(1 + \vepsilon)^n$ is at a distance greater than $2^{-17} \epsilon |\log \vepsilon|^{-1}$ to the set of rational integers. This is…

We investigate the following problem: what is the smallest possible distance between a cubic irrational $\xi$ and a rational number $p/q$ in terms of the height $H(\xi)$ and $q$? More precisely, we consider the set $D_{3,1}$ consisting of…

For real $\xi$ we consider the irrationality measure function $\psi_\xi(t) = \min_{1\leqslant q \leqslant t, q\in\mathbb{Z}} || q\xi ||$, where $||\cdot||$ - distance to the nearest integer. We prove that in the case…

Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…

The approximation constant $\lambda_{k}(\zeta)$ is defined as the supremum of real $\eta$ such that $\Vert \zeta^{j}x\Vert\leq x^{-\eta}$ for $1\leq j\leq k$ has infinitely many integer solutions $x$. Here $\Vert.\Vert$ denotes the distance…

The set of badly approximable $m \times n $ matrices is known to have Hausdorff dimension $mn $. Each such matrix comes with its own approximation constant $c$, and one can ask for the dimension of the set of badly approximable matrices…
