Approximation of p-adic numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree

open access: yesJournal of Number Theory, 1978
AbstractThe approximation of p-adic numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree is studied. Results similar to those obtained by Wirsing and by Davenport and Schmidt in the real case are proved in the p-adic case. Unlike the real case the expected best exponent is not obtained when approximating by quadratic irrationals.

On approximation of real numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree

open access: yesJournal of Number Theory, 2007
Dirichlet proved that, for any real irrational number \(\xi\), there exist infinitely many rational numbers \(\frac{p}{q}\) such that \(|\xi-\frac{p}{q}|2\). Let \(\mathbf A_n, \;n>2\) denote the set of algebraic numbers of degree \(\leq n\). Let \(\alpha\in \mathbf A_n\) and \(H(\alpha)\) the height of \(\alpha\), that is the largest absolute value of

Simultaneous approximation to algebraic numbers by elements of a number field

open access: yesMonatshefte f�r Mathematik, 1975
A special case of the main result is as follows. Given a number fieldK a number ɛ>0 and real or complex algebraic numbers ξ1,...,ξn with 1, ξ1,...,ξn linearly independent overK, there are only finitely many α=(α1,...,αn) with components inK and with |ξ1,...,α1| whereH(α) is a suitably defined height.

On approximation to a real number by algebraic numbers of bounded degree

open access: yesAnnals of Mathematics
In his seminal 1961 paper, Wirsing studied how well a given transcendental real number $ξ$ can be approximated by algebraic numbers $α$ of degree at most $n$ for a given positive integer $n$, in terms of the so-called naive height $H(α)$ of $α$. He showed that the infimum $ω^*_n(ξ)$ of all $ω$ for which infinitely many such $α$ have $|ξ-α| \le H(α)^{-ω-
