For real $\xi$ we consider irrationality measure function $\psi_\xi (t) = \min_{1\le q \le t, \, q\in \mathbb{Z}} ||q\xi||$. We prove that in the case $\alpha \pm \beta \not\in \mathbb{Z}$ there exist arbitrary large values of $t$ with…

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…

For an irrational number $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ we consider its irrationality measure function $$ \psi_\alpha(t) = \min_{1\le q\le t,\, q\in\mathbb{Z}} \| q\alpha \|. $$ Let $\boldsymbol{\alpha} = (\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_n)$ be $n$-tuple of…

We study two irrationality measure functions $\psi_\alpha^{[2]} (t) $ and $\psi_\alpha^{[2]*} (t)$ related to the "second best" approximations to a real numbers and prove some results on the structure of the corresponding Diophantine…

For a given irrational number $\alpha$ one can define an irrationality measure function $\psi_{\alpha}^{[2]}(t) = \min\limits_{\substack{(q, p)\colon q, p \in\mathbb{Z}, 1\leqslant q\leqslant t, \\ (p, q) \neq (p_n, q_n) ~\forall…

Given an irrational number $\alpha$ consider its irrationality measure function $\psi_{\alpha}(t)=\min\limits_{1\le q\le t, q\in\mathbb{Z}}\|q\alpha\|$. The set of all values of $\lambda(\alpha)=(\limsup\limits_{t\to\infty}…

The irrationality exponent $\mu(t)$ of an irrational number t, defined using the irrationality measure $1/q^\mu$, distinguishes among non-Liouville numbers and is infinite for Liouville numbers. Using the irrationality measure $1/\beta^q$,…

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…

The first estimate of the upper bound $\mu(\pi)\leq42$ of the irrationality measure of the number $\pi$ was computed by Mahler in 1953, and more recently it was reduced to $\mu(\pi)\leq7.6063$ by Salikhov in 2008. Here, it is shown that…

The paper presents upper estimates for the irrationality measure and the non-quadraticity measure for the numbers $\alpha_k=\sqrt{2k+1}\ln\frac{\sqrt{2k+1}-1}{\sqrt{2k+1}+1}, \ k\in\mathbb N.$

The recent technique for estimating lower bounds of the prime counting function $\pi(x)=#\{p \leq x: p\text{ prime}\}$ by means of the irrationality measures $\mu(\zeta(s)) \geq 2$ of special values of the zeta function claims that $\pi(x)…

In this note we show how the irrationality measure of $\zeta(s) = \pi^2/6$ can be used to obtain explicit lower bounds for $\pi(x)$. We analyze the key ingredients of the proof of the finiteness of the irrationality measure, and show how to…

The type $\tau$($\alpha$) of an irrational number $\alpha$ measures the extent to which rational numbers can closely approximate $\alpha$. More precisely, $\tau$($\alpha$) is the infimum over those t$\in$R for which…

We use a variant of Salikhov's ingenious proof that the irrationality measure of $\pi$ is at most $7.606308\dots$ to prove that, in fact, it is at most $7.103205334137\dots$. Accompanying Maple package: While this article has a fully…

Let $k\geq 1$ be a small fixed integer. The rational approximations $\left |p/q-\pi^{k} \right |>1/q^{\mu(\pi^k)}$ of the irrational number $\pi^{k}$ are bounded away from zero. A general result for the irrationality exponent $\mu(\pi^k)$…

We proved that difference function $\psi_\Theta-\psi_{\Theta'}$ for almost all pairs $\Theta$, $\Theta'$ in cases $m=1$, $n=2$ or $m\geqslant2$ and $n=1$ changes its sign infinity many times as $t\rightarrow+\infty$.

For a fixed irrational $\theta > 0$ with a prescribed irrationality measure function, we study the correlation $\int_1^X \Delta(x) \Delta(\theta x) dx$, where $\Delta$ is the Dirichlet error term in the divisor problem. When $\theta$ has a…

Let \beta be a real number. Then for almost all irrational \alpha>0 (in the sense of Lebesgue measure) \limsup_{x\to\infty}\pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)(\log x)^2/x>=1, where \pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)={p<=x: both p and [\alpha p+\beta] are primes}.
