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…

Building on work of Davenport and Schmidt, we mainly prove two results. The first one is a version of Gel'fond's transcendence criterion which provides a sufficient condition for a complex or $p$-adic number $\xi$ to be algebraic in terms…

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…

There are abundant results on Diophantine approximation over fields of positive characteristic (see the survey papers [13, 25]), but there is very little information about simultaneous approximation. In this paper, we develop a technique of…

There are two main interrelated goals of this paper. Firstly we investigate the sums \[ S_N(\alpha,\gamma):=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{1}{n\|n\alpha-\gamma\|}~~~\text{and}~~~ R_N(\alpha,\gamma):=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{1}{\|n\alpha-\gamma\|}\,, \] where…
