Abstract

We show that there exist real numbers α1,α2\alpha_1,\alpha_2 linearly independent over Z\mathbb{Z} together with 1 such that for every non-zero integer vector (m1,m2)(m_1,m_2) with m10m_1\ge 0 and m20m_2\ge 0 one has m1α1+m2α22300(max(m1,m2))σ||m_1\alpha_1+m_2\alpha_2|| \ge 2^{-300} (\max(m_1, m_2))^{-\sigma} with σ=1.94696+\sigma = 1.94696^+.
