An improved bound in Wirsing's problem

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We improve the lower bound for the classical exponent of approximation wnast(xi) connected to Wirsing's famous problem of approximation to real numbers by algebraic numbers of degree at most n. Our bound exceeds n/sqrt3approx0.5773n and thus provides a reasonable qualitative improvement to previous bounds of order n/2+O(1). We further establish new relations between several classical exponents of approximation.
