Approximating reals by sums of two rationals

Abstract: We generalize Dirichlet's diophantine approximation theorem to approximating any real number

a l p h a

by a sum of two rational numbers

f r a c a_{1} q_{1} + f r a c a_{2} q_{2}

with denominators

1 l e q q_{1}, q_{2} l e q N

. This turns out to be related to the congruence equation problem

x y e q u i v c p m o d q

with

1 l e q x, y l e q q^{1 / 2 + e p s i l o n}

.
