Diophantine approximations of the number \(\pi\) by numbers from the field \(\mathbb Q(\sqrt 3)\) (Q2518046)

The main result of this paper is the following. Theorem: Let \(p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4\in\mathbb Z\) such that \((p_3,p_4)\not= (0,0)\). Denote \(q=\max (|p_1|,|p_2|,|p_3|,|p_4|)\). Then there exists \(q_0\) such that if \(q>q_0\) then \[ \left|\pi -\frac{p_1\sqrt 3 +p_2}{p_3\sqrt 3 +p_4}\right|>q^{-10.3567}. \] The proof makes use of the special properties of hypergeometric functions.
