Abstract: We study rational approximation properties for successive powers of extremal numbers defined by Roy. For nin1,2, the classic approximation constants lambdan(zeta),hatlambdan(zeta),wn(zeta),hatwn(zeta) connected to an extremal number zeta have been established and in fact much more is known. However, so far almost nothing had been known for ngeq3. In this paper we determine all classic approximation constants as above for n=3. Our methods will more generally provide detailed information on the combined graph defined by Schmidt and Summerer assigned to an extremal number, its square and its cube. We provide some results for n=4 as well. In the course of the proof of the main results we establish a very general connection between Khintchine's transference inequalities and uniform approximation.
