Abstract: For an irrational number $alphainmathbbR$ we consider its irrationality measure function ${\displaystyle }$ psi_alpha(x) = min_{1le qle x,, qinmathbb{Z}} | qalpha |. ${\displaystyle }$ It is known for all irrational numbers $alpha$ and $$ satisfying $$, there exist arbitrary large values of $t$ with �egin{equation*} | psi_alpha(t) - psi_�eta(t) | geqslant left( sqrt{ au} - 1 ight) cdot min( psi_alpha(t), psi_�eta(t) ), end{equation*} where $au=fracsqrt5+12$ and this result is optimal for certain numbers equivalent to $au$. Here we prove that for all irrational numbers $alpha$ and $$, satisfying $$, such that at least one of them is not equivalent to $au$, there exist arbitrary large values of $t$ with ${\displaystyle }$ | psi_alpha(t) - psi_�eta(t) | geqslant (sqrt{sqrt2+1}-1)cdot min( psi_alpha(t), psi_�eta(t) ). ${\displaystyle }$ Moreover, we show that the constant on the right-hand side is optimal.
