A rational approximation by a ratio of polynomial functions is a flexible alternative to polynomial approximation. In particular, rational functions exhibit accurate estimations to nonsmooth and non- Lipschitz functions, where polynomial…
We approximate a given rational spectral density by one that is consistent with prescribed second-order statistics. Such an approximation is obtained by minimizing a suitable distance from the given spectrum and under the constraints…
In 1970 A. Baker and W. Schmidt introduced regular systems of numbers and vectors, showing that the set of real algebraic numbers forms a regular system on any fixed interval. This fact was used to prove several important results in the…
The notion of $\theta$-congruent numbers generalizes the classical congruent number problem. Recall that a positive integer $n$ is $\theta$-congruent if it is the area of a rational triangle with an angle $\theta$ whose cosine is rational.…

We introduce new discrete best approximation problems, formulated and solved in the framework of tropical algebra, which deals with semirings and semifields with idempotent addition. Given a set of samples, each consisting of the input and…

In the literature, we have various ways of proving irrationality of a real number. In this survey article, we shall emphasize on a particular criterion to prove irrationality. This is called nice approximation of a number by a sequence of…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\xi$ an irrational $p$-adic number. Its multiplicative irrationality exponent ${{\mu^{\times}}} (\xi)$ is the supremum of the real numbers ${{\mu^{\times}}}$ for which the inequality $$ |b \xi - a|_{p} \leq |…
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…
For any irrational real number xi, let lambda(xi) denote the supremum of all real numbers lambda such that, for each sufficiently large X, the inequalities |x_0| < X, |x_0*xi-x_1| < X^{-lambda} and |x_0*xi^2-x_2| < X^{-lambda} admit a…
We classify and enumerate all rational numbers with approximation constant at least $\frac{1}{3}$ using hyperbolic geometry. Rational numbers correspond to geodesics in the modular torus with both ends in the cusp, and the approximation…
Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer and $\xi$ a transcendental real number. We establish several new relations between the values at $\xi$ of the exponents of Diophantine approximation $w_n, w_{n}^{\ast}, \hat{w}_{n}$, and $\hat{w}_{n}^{\ast}$.…

From Euclid's fundamental formula for the Pythagorean triples we define the rational triples relating certain congruent numbers by an identity and explore their relationships. We introduce two geometric methods relating the congruent number…
Numerical approximate computation can solve large and complex problems fast. It has the advantage of high efficiency. However it only gives approximate results, whereas we need exact results in many fields. There is a gap between…
