On the exact height of integer-detecting sequences (Q1281628)

A sequence \((m_n)_{n\geq 0}\) of positive integers is called \textit{integer-detecting of height} \(\epsilon>0\) if any rational number \(r\) satisfying \(\|m_n r\|<\epsilon\) for all \(n\geq 0\) is an integer. When a sequence \(\mathcal M=(m_n)_{n\geq 0}\) of integers is integer-detecting, \(h(\mathcal M)=\sup\{\epsilon:\epsilon \text{ is height of } \mathcal M\}\) is called the \textit{exact height} of \(\mathcal M\), which is itself a height of \(\mathcal M\). All the occurring exact heights are rational numbers, in fact even unit fractions. Otherwise, it is shown that \(0<h(\mathcal M)\leq 1/3\) in the paper of \textit{J. W. Sander} and \textit{J. Steinig} [Indag. Math. 9, 305-315 (1998; Zbl 0920.11043)]. In this paper, the authors show that every positive real number not exceeding \(1/3\) is the exact height of some integer-detecting sequence. Some examples are given.
