Rational approximations to algebraic numbers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Extract
It was proved in a recent paper that if α is any algebraic number, not rational, then for any ζ > 0 the inequality
has only a finite number of solutions in relatively prime integers h, q. Our main purpose in the present note is to deduce, from the results of that paper, an explicit estimate for the number of solutions.

page 162 note * It was supposed in R that α is real, merely because the result of that paper is trivially true otherwise. All the details of R remain valid if α is complex, and it is convenient not to restrict α to be real in the present work, in order to avoid a minor complication in the proof of Theorem 2.
