Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's…
We obtain two sequences of rational numbers which converge to the Euler-Gompertz constant. Denote by <f(x)> the integral of f(x)e^{-x} from 0 to infinity. Recall that the Euler-Gompertz constant \delta is <ln(x+1)>. Main idea. Let P_n(x) be…
This paper deals with two main topics related to Diophantine approximation. Firstly, we show that if a point on an algebraic variety is approximable by rational vectors to a sufficiently large degree, the approximating vectors must lie in…
In this paper the authors show how to use Riemann-Hilbert techniques to prove various results, some old, some new, in the theory of Toeplitz operators and orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC's). There are four main results: the…
Recently there has been a renewed interest in an extension of the notion of orthogonal polynomials known as multiple orthogonal polynomials. This notion comes from simultaneous rational approximation (Hermite-Pade approximation) of a system…
We construct a class of multiple Legendre polynomials and prove that they satisfy an Ap\'ery-like recurrence. We give new upper bounds of the approximation measures of logarithms of rational numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree.…
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 $\omega_2(\xi)$, $\widehat{\omega}_2(\xi)$, $\lambda_2(\xi)$,…
A basic question of Diophantine approximation, which is the first issue we discuss, is to investigate the rational approximations to a single real number. Next, we consider the algebraic or polynomial approximations to a single complex…
This paper introduces some methods to determine the simultaneous approximation constants of a class of well approximable numbers $\zeta_{1},\zeta_{2},...,\zeta_{k}$. The approach relies on results on the connection between the set of all…
This paper offers a newly created integral approach for operators employing the orthogonal modified Laguerre polynomials and P\u{a}lt\u{a}nea basis. These operators approximate the functions over the interval $[0,\infty)$. Further, the…
A detailed analysis of the remainder obtained by truncating the Euler series up to the $n$th-order term is presented. In particular, by using an approach recently proposed by Weniger, asymptotic expansions of the remainder, both in inverse…
We relate a previous result of ours on families of Diophantine equations having only trivial solutions with a result on the approximation of an algebraic number by products of rational numbers and units. We compare this approximation with a…
We consider polynomials orthogonal on $[0,\infty)$ with respect to Laguerre-type weights $w(x)=x^\alpha e^{-Q(x)}$, where $\alpha>-1$ and where $Q$ denotes a polynomial with positive leading coefficient. The main purpose of this paper is to…

We first propose two conjectural estimates on Diophantine approximation of logarithms of algebraic numbers. Next we discuss the state of the art and we give further partial results on this topic.
We introduce a new family of multiple orthogonal polynomials satisfying orthogonality conditions with respect to two weights $(w_1,w_2)$ on the positive real line, with $w_1(x)=x^\alpha e^{-x}$ the gamma density and $w_2(x) = x^\alpha…
Let $v$ be an odd real polynomial (i.e. a polynomial of the form $\sum_{j=1}^\ell a_jx^{2j-1}$). We utilize sets of iterated differences to establish new results about sets of the form $\mathcal…
