We compare the convergence behavior of best polynomial approximations and Legendre and Chebyshev projections and derive optimal rates of convergence of Legendre projections for analytic and differentiable functions in the maximum norm. For…
The Laplace approximation (LA) to posteriors is a ubiquitous tool to simplify Bayesian computation, particularly in the high-dimensional settings arising in Bayesian inverse problems. Precisely quantifying the LA accuracy is a challenging…
The main goal of this note is to develop a metrical theory of Diophantine approximation within the framework of the de Mathan-Teulie Conjecture, also known as the `Mixed Littlewood Conjecture'. Let p be a prime. A consequence of our main…
A general form of the Borel-Cantelli Lemma and its connection with the proof of Khintchine's Theorem on Diophantine approximation and the more general Khintchine-Groshev theorem are discussed. The torus geometry in the planar case allows a…

The goal of this survey is to discuss the Quantitative non-Divergence estimate on the space of lattices and present a selection of its applications. The topics covered include extremal manifolds, Khintchine-Groshev type theorems, rational…
This expository essay discusses a finite dimensional approach to dilation theory. How much of dilation theory can be worked out within the realm of linear algebra? It turns out that some interesting and simple results can be obtained. These…
We prove a version of the Khinchine--Groshev theorem for Diophantine approximation of matrices subject to a congruence condition. The proof relies on an extension of the Dani correspondence to the quotient by a congruence subgroup. This…
We investigate the number of integer solutions to a multiplicative Diophantine approximation problem and show that the associated counting function converges in distribution to a normal law. Our approach relies on the analysis of…
Let $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a Hadamard lacunary sequence. We give upper bounds for the maximal gap of the set of dilates $\{a_n \alpha\}_{n \leq N}$ modulo 1, in terms of $N$. For any lacunary sequence $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ we…
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…
The Duffin-Schaeffer theorem is a well-known result from metric number theory, which generalises Khinchin's theorem from monotonic functions to a wider class of approximating functions. In recent years, there has been some interest in…
Analogues of the classical theorems of Khintchine, Jarnik and Jarnik-Besicovitch in the metrical theory of Diophantine approximation are established for quaternions by applying results on the measure of general `lim sup' sets.
Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…

Several problems on Fourier series and trigonometric approximation on a hexagon and a triangle are studied. The results include Abel and Ces\`aro summability of Fourier series, degree of approximation and best approximation by trigonometric…
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…
We give the general solution of three Diophantine equations in the ring of integer of the algebraic number field ${\bf Q}[{\sqr 5}]$. These equations are related to the problem of determination of the minimum distance in quasicrystals with…
In an earlier paper (joint with Min Ru), we proved a result on diophantine approximation to Cartier divisors, extending a 2011 result of P. Autissier. This was recently extended to certain closed subschemes (in place of divisors) by Ru and…
We solve the problem of best approximation by Parseval frames to an arbitrary frame in a subspace of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We explicitly describe all the solutions and we give a criterion for uniqueness. This best…
