Abstract: For $zeta$ a transcendental real number, we consider the classical Diophantine exponents $w_n(zeta)$ and $widehat{w}_n(zeta)$. They measure how small $|P(zeta)|$ can be for an integer polynomial $P$ of degree at most $n$ and naive height bounded by $X$, for arbitrarily large and all large $X$, respectively. The discrepancy between the exponents $w_n(zeta)$ and $widehat{w}_n(zeta)$ has attracted interest recently. Studying parametric geometry of numbers, W. Schmidt and L. Summerer were the first to refine the trivial inequality $w_n(zeta)geqwidehat{w}_n(zeta)$. Y. Bugeaud and the author found another estimation provided that the condition $w_n(zeta)>w_{n-1}(zeta)$ holds. In this paper we establish an unconditioned version of the latter result, which can be regarded as a proper extension. Unfortunately, the new contribution involves an additional exponent and is of interest only in certain cases.
