Abstract: Let $Gammasubsetoverline{mathbbQ}^{imes}$ be a finitely generated multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Let $$ be algebraic numbers with $$ irrational. In this paper, we prove that there exist only finitely many triples $(u,q,p)inGammaimesmathbb{Z}^2$ with $d=[mathbbQ(u):mathbbQ]$ such that ${\displaystyle }$ 0<|delta qu+�eta-p|<frac{1}{H^varepsilon(u)q^{d+varepsilon}}, ${\displaystyle }$ where $H(u)$ denotes the absolute Weil height. As an application of this result, we also prove a transcendence result, which states as follows: Let $alpha>1$ be a real number. Let $$ be an algebraic irrational and $lambda$ be a non-zero real algebraic number. For a given real number $varepsilon>0$, if there are infinitely many natural numbers $n$ for which $$ holds true, then $alpha$ is transcendental, where $||x||$ denotes the distance from its nearest integer. When $alpha$ and $$ both are algebraic satisfying same conditions, then a particular result of Kulkarni, Mavraki and Nguyen, proved in [3] asserts that $alph{a}^d$ is a Pisot number. When $$ is algebraic irrational, our result implies that no algebraic number $alpha$ satisfies the inequality for infinitely many natural numbers $n$. Also, our result strengthens a result of Wagner and Ziegler [6]. The proof of our results uses the Subspace Theorem based on the idea of Corvaja and Zannier [2] together with various modification play a crucial role in the proof.
