The main result of this paper isthe following: Theorem. Let \(r\), \(m\) and \(l\) be positive integers such that \(r+l=m\). Assume that \(u_1,\dots ,u_r\), \(a_1,\dots ,a_r\), \(v_1,\dots v_m\) are reals with \(u_j>0\) (\(j=1,2,\dots ,r\)) and such that for every \(j=1,\dots ,r\) and \(k=1,2,\dots\) the number \(u_ja_j^k+v_j\) takes a positive integral value. Suppose that for every \(j=r+1,\dots ,r+l\) the number \(v_j\) is positive integer. Set \[ \alpha =[0;\overline{u_1a_1^k+v_1,\dots ,u_ra_r^k+v_r,v_{r+1},\dots ,v_m}]_{k=1}^\infty . \] Then for any \(\varepsilon >0\), \[ \mid \alpha-\frac pq \mid <(1+\varepsilon) q^{-2-C} \] for infinitely many integers \(p\), \(q\), while there is a positive constant \(q_0\) depending on \(a_j\), \(u_j\) (\(1\leq j\leq r\)), \(v_j\) (\(1\leq j\leq m\)) and \(\varepsilon\) such that \[ \mid \alpha-\frac pq \mid <(1-\varepsilon) q^{-2-C} \] for all integers \(p\), \(q\) with (\(q\geq q_0\)), where \[ C=\max_{1\leq j\leq r} \Biggl( \biggl(\log(u_j\sqrt{a_j})- \frac{\log a_j \log((\prod_{i=1}^{j-1}a_j)(\prod_{i=1}^ru_i)(\prod_{i=r+1}^mv_i))}{\log (\prod_{i=1}^ra_i)}\biggr) \frac{1}{\log q} + \] \[ \frac{\sqrt 2a_j}{\sqrt{\log (\prod_{i=1}^ra_i)\log q}}\Biggr). \] The proof is based on usual approximations of continued fractions.
