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 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…
For an irrational number $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ we consider its irrationality measure function $$ \psi_\alpha(t) = \min_{1\le q\le t,\, q\in\mathbb{Z}} \| q\alpha \|. $$ Let $\boldsymbol{\alpha} = (\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_n)$ be $n$-tuple of…
We prove a new result about the mutual behavior of irrationality measure functions $\psi_{\alpha_j}(t)$ for $n$ different real numbers $\alpha_j, j = 1, \dots, n$.
For real $\xi$ we consider the irrationality measure function $\psi_\xi(t) = \min_{1\leqslant q \leqslant t, q\in\mathbb{Z}} || q\xi ||$, where $||\cdot||$ - distance to the nearest integer. We prove that in the case…
For real $\xi$ we consider irrationality measure function $\psi_\xi (t) = \min_{1\le q \le t, \, q\in \mathbb{Z}} ||q\xi||$. We prove that in the case $\alpha \pm \beta \not\in \mathbb{Z}$ there exist arbitrary large values of $t$ with…
Measures of irrationality are a numerical way of quantifying how far a given variety is from being rational (or rationally connected, uniruled, etc.). In the last two decades, there has been renewed interest in the study of these…
For a given irrational number $\alpha$ one can define an irrationality measure function $\psi_{\alpha}^{[2]}(t) = \min\limits_{\substack{(q, p)\colon q, p \in\mathbb{Z}, 1\leqslant q\leqslant t, \\ (p, q) \neq (p_n, q_n) ~\forall…
Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…
We prove a new result about the mutual behavior of irrationality measure functions $\psi_{\alpha_j}(t)$ for $n$ different real numbers $\alpha_j,\, j =1,...n$.
This paper presents a new proof that if k^alpha is irrational then the sequence floor(alpha + log_k(n)) is not k-regular. Unlike previous proofs, the methods used do not rely on automata or language theoretic concepts. The paper also proves…
We study asymptotics for the intergal of irrationality measure functions.
We consider the problem of partitioning a line segment into two subsets, so that $n$ finite measures all have the same ratio of values for the subsets. Letting $\alpha\in[0,1]$ denote the desired ratio, this generalises the PPA-complete…
Given an irrational number $\alpha$ consider its irrationality measure function $\psi_{\alpha}(t)=\min\limits_{1\le q\le t, q\in\mathbb{Z}}\|q\alpha\|$. The set of all values of $\lambda(\alpha)=(\limsup\limits_{t\to\infty}…
In math.NT/0307308 we defined the irrationality base of an irrational number and, assuming a stronger hypothesis than the irrationality of Euler's constant, gave a conditional upper bound on its irrationality base. Here we develop the…
The first estimate of the upper bound $\mu(\pi)\leq42$ of the irrationality measure of the number $\pi$ was computed by Mahler in 1953, and more recently it was reduced to $\mu(\pi)\leq7.6063$ by Salikhov in 2008. Here, it is shown that…
The fundamental relationship between the partial quotients $b_{n+1}$ of an algebraic irrational $\alpha = \sqrt[m]{k}$ and its corresponding algebraic form $d_n = |p_n^m - k q_n^m|$ was elegantly proposed by Bombieri and van der Poorten. In…
We study two irrationality measure functions $\psi_\alpha^{[2]} (t) $ and $\psi_\alpha^{[2]*} (t)$ related to the "second best" approximations to a real numbers and prove some results on the structure of the corresponding Diophantine…
Writing for a general mathematical audience, we provide elementary upper and lower bounds on the growth (as a function of N) of the sum \sum_{n=1}^N (-1)^{\floor{n x}} for various fixed x. For example, if x is a quadratic irrational, then…
For irrational $\alpha$, $\{n\alpha\}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1 in the Weyl sense, and the asymptotic behavior of its discrepancy is completely known. In contrast, very few precise results exist for the discrepancy of subsequences…
