Abstract

In 1982, A. K. Lenstra, H. W. Lenstra, and L. Lov\'asz introduced the first polynomial-time method to factor a nonzero polynomial fQ[x]f \in \mathbb{Q}[x] into irreducible factors. This algorithm, now commonly referred to as the LLL Algorithm, can also be applied to compute simultaneous Diophantine approximations. We present a significant improvement of a result by Bosma and Smeets on the quality of simultaneous Diophantine approximations achieved by the LLL Algorithm.
