We show that measures of irrationality on very general codimension two complete intersections and very general complete intersection surfaces are multiplicative in the degrees of the defining equations. This confirms some cases of a…
We apply the Pade technique to find rational approximations to % \[h^{\pm}(q_1,q_2)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{\q_1^k}{1\pm \q_2^k}, 0<q_1,q_2<1, q_1\in\mathbb{Q}, q_2=1/p_2, p_2\in\mathbb{N}\setminus\{1\}.\] % A separate section is dedicated…
In this paper, we simplify and improve the constant, $c$, that appears in effective irrationality measures, $|(a/b)^{m/n}-p/q|>c|q|^{-(\kappa+1)}$, obtained from the hypergeometric method for $a/b$ near $1$. The dependence of $c$ on $|a|$…
Causal parameters may not be point identified in the presence of unobserved confounding. However, information about non-identified parameters, in the form of bounds, may still be recovered from the observed data in some cases. We develop a…
In this article, we give an asymptotic bound for the exponential sum of the M\"obius function $\sum_{n \le x} \mu(n) e(\alpha n)$ for a fixed irrational number $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. This exponential sum was originally studied by Davenport…
We utilize quantum superposition principle to establish the improvable upper and lower bounds on the stronger uncertainty relation, i.e., the "weighted-like" sum of the variances of observables. Our bounds include some free parameters which…
We outline a proof of an analogue of Khintchine's Theorem in R^2, where the ordinary height is replaced by a distance function satisfying an irrationality condition as well as certain decay and symmetry conditions.
New formulas for approximation of zeta-constants were derived on the basis of a number-theoretic approach constructed for the irrationality proof of certain classical constants. Using these formulas it's possible to approximate certain…
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…
The concept of nearest integer is used to derive theorems and algorithms for the best approximations of an irrational by rational numbers, which are improved with the pigeonhole principle and used to offer an informed presentation of the…
For an irrational number $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ we consider its irrationality measure function $$ \psi_\alpha(x) = \min_{1\le q\le x,\, q\in\mathbb{Z}} \| q\alpha \|. $$ It is known for all irrational numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfying…
A paradigm for a global algebraic number theory of the reals is formulated with the purpose of providing a unified setting for algebraic and transcendental number theory. This is achieved through the study of subgroups of nonstandard models…
An elliptic divisibility sequence, generated by a point in the image of a rational isogeny, is shown to possess a uniformly bounded number of prime terms. This result applies over the rational numbers, assuming Lang's conjecture, and over…
In this paper we develop a new explicit method to studying rational points near manifolds and obtain optimal lower bounds on the number of rational points of bounded height lying at a given distance from an arbitrary non-degenerate curve.…
The paper presents upper estimates for the irrationality measure and the non-quadraticity measure for the numbers $\alpha_k=\sqrt{2k+1}\ln\frac{\sqrt{2k+1}-1}{\sqrt{2k+1}+1}, \ k\in\mathbb N.$
If $\alpha$ is a non-zero algebraic number, we let $m(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $\mathbb Z$. A series of articles by Dubickas and Smyth, and later by the author, develop a modified version…
In this article we obtain new irrationality measures for values of functions which belong to a certain class of hypergeometric functions including shifted logarithmic functions, binomial functions and shifted exponential functions. We…
We study asymptotics for the intergal of irrationality measure functions.
We exploit dynamical properties of diagonal actions to derive results in Diophantine approximations. In particular, we prove that the continued fraction expansion of almost any point on the middle third Cantor set (with respect to the…
Possibility theory offers a framework where both Lehmann's "preferential inference" and the more productive (but less cautious) "rational closure inference" can be represented. However, there are situations where the second inference does…
