We study metrical properties of various subsequences associated to the sequence of rational approximants coming from the continued fraction of an irrational number. Our methods build upon Bosma, Jager and Wiedijk's proof of the…
We develop a real-analytic framework, called perplex analysis, in which the complex, split-complex, and dual numbers arise as members of a single four-parameter family of two-dimensional commutative real algebras. Within this unified…
A one-to-one continuous function from a triangle to itself is defined that has both interesting number theoretic and analytic properties. This function is shown to be a natural generalization of the classical Minkowski ?(x) function. It is…
We formulate some simple conditions under which a Markov chain may be approximated by the solution to a differential equation, with quantifiable error probabilities. The role of a choice of coordinate functions for the Markov chain is…
Kurzweil's theorem ('55) is concerned with zero-one laws for well approximable targets in inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation under the badly approximable assumption. In this article, we prove the divergent part of a Kurzweil type…
For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…
There are abundant results on Diophantine approximation over fields of positive characteristic (see the survey papers [13, 25]), but there is very little information about simultaneous approximation. In this paper, we develop a technique of…
One shortcoming of the chain rule is that it does not iterate: it gives the derivative of f(g(x)), but not (directly) the second or higher-order derivatives. We present iterated differentials and a version of the multivariable chain rule…
We study diophantine equations of the form ${a_1 + \ldots + a_n = 0}$ where the $a_i$'s are assumed to be coprime and to satisfy certain subsum conditions. We are interested in the limit superior of the qualities of the admissible solutions…
$ \newcommand{\R}{\mathbb{R}} \newcommand{\lat}{\mathcal{L}} $We prove a conjecture due to Dadush, showing that if $\lat \subset \R^n$ is a lattice such that $\det(\lat') \ge 1$ for all sublattices $\lat' \subseteq \lat$, then \[ \sum_{\vec…
We study strong approximation for some algebraic varieties over which are defined using norm forms over the rationals. This allows us to confirm a special case of a conjecture due to Harpaz and Wittenberg.
An example is given of a UFD which has infinitely generated Derksen invariant. The ring is \textquotedblleft almost rigid\textquotedblright\ meaning that the Derksen invariant is equal to the Makar-Limanov invariant. Techniques to show that…
We give elementary proof of stronger versions of several recent results on intrinsic Diophantine approximation on rational quadric hypersurfaces $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{R})$. The main tool is a refinement of the simplex lemma, which…
Finding integer solutions to norm form equations is a classical Diophantine problem. Using the units of the associated coefficient ring, we can produce sequences of solutions to these equations. It is known that these solutions can be…
In this note we investigate three kinds of applications of the Painlev\'e-Kuratowski convergence of closed sets in analysis that are motivated also by questions from singularity theory. Firstly, we generalise to Lipschitz functions the…
Inspired by a problem proposed by Mahler, we will address the following related question, 'How well can irrationals in a missing digit set be approximated by rationals with polynomial denominators?' and prove some related results. To…
Farey's sequence is a well-known procedure used to generate proper fractions from 0 to 1. Farey sequence is commonly used in rational approximations of irrational numbers, ford circles and in Riemann hypothesis. Thus, in this paper, we aim…
There are two fundamental results in the classical theory of metric Diophantine approximation: Khintchine's theorem and Jarnik's theorem. The former relates the size of the set of well approximable numbers, expressed in terms of Lebesgue…
We refine Khintchine Transference Principle which relates the measure of simultaneous rational approximation of an $n$ real numbers with the measure of linear independence of these $n$ numbers. Khintchine's inequalities are known to be…
We prove a result on approximations to a real number $\theta$ by algebraic numbers of degree $\le 2$ in the case when we have information about the uniform Diophantine exponent $\hat{\omega}$ for the linear form $x_0 +\theta…
