One-sided Diophantine approximations

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The paper deals with best one--sided (lower or upper) Diophantine approximations of the ell-th kind (ellinmathbbN). We use the ordinary continued fraction expansions to formulate explicit criteria for a fraction fracpqinmathbbQ to be a best lower or upper Diophantine approximation of the ell-th kind to a given alphainmathbbR. The sets of best lower and upper approximations are examined in terms of their cardinalities and metric properties. Applying our results in spectral analysis, we obtain an explanation for the rarity of so-called Bethe--Sommerfeld quantum graphs.
