AbstractLet t be any complex number different from the poles of a Weierstrass elliptic function ℘(z), having algebraic invariants. Then we estimate from below the sum where α and β are algebraic numbers. The estimate is given in terms of the heights of α and β and the degree of the field Q(α, β), where Q is the field of rationals.

We present a general result of simultaneous approximation to several transcendental real, complex or p-adic numbers ξ1, …, ξt by conjugate algebraic numbers of bounded degree over ℚ, provided that the given transcendental numbers ξ1, …, ξt generate over ℚ a field of transcendence degree one. We provide sharper estimates for example when ξ1, …, ξt form an arithmetic progression with non-zero algebraic difference, or a geometric progression with non-zero algebraic ratio different from a root of unity. In this case, we also obtain by duality a version of Gel'fond's transcendence criterion expressed in terms of polynomials of bounded degree taking small values at ξ1, …, ξt.

AbstractWe give several results concerning the simultaneous approximation of certain complex numbers. For instance, we give lower bounds for |a–ξo |+ | ea – ξ1 |, where a is any non-zero complex number, and ξ are two algebraic numbers. We also improve the estimate of the so-called Franklin Schneider theorem concerning | b – ξ | + | a – ξ | + | ab – ξ. We deduce these results from an estimate for linear forms in logarithms.
