Homogeneous approximation to one number (11J04) Simultaneous homogeneous approximation, linear forms (11J13)

Abstract: In 1969, H. Davenport and W. Schmidt established a measure of simultaneous approximation for a real number xi and its square by rational numbers with the same denominator, assuming only that xi is not rational nor quadratic over Q. Here, we show by an example, that this measure is optimal. We also indicate several properties of the numbers for which this measure is optimal, in particular with respect to approximation by algebraic integers of degree at most three.
