    Für natürliches \(R\) sei \(N(R)\) die Länge der Periode des einfachen Kettenbruches für \(\sqrt{R}\). \textit{T. Vijayaraghavan} hat bewiesen (Proceedings L. M. S. (2) 26 (1927), 403- 414; F. d. M. 54, 169 (JFM 54.0169.*)): \[ \displaylines{\rlap{\qquad(1)} \hfill N(R)<K\sqrt{R} \log\;R\;\text{für genügend großes}\;R. \hfill} \] \(K\) ist dabei eine gewisse Konstante, deren kleinster durch \textit{Vijayaraghavans} Beweis zu erhaltender Wert nach Ansicht des Verf. \[ K=\frac{1}{\log\biggl(\dfrac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}\biggr)}+\varepsilon \qquad(\varepsilon >0) \] ist. Verf. beweist, daß schon für die kleinere Konstante \[ K=\frac{6}{\pi ^2} \] die Abschätzung (1) gilt.
