Diophantine approximation and Diophantine equations
The first course is devoted to the basic setup of Diophantine approximation: we start with rational approximation to a single real number. Firstly, positive results tell us that a real number x has “good” rational approximation p/q, where “good” is when one compares |x − p/q| and q. We discuss Dirichlet’s result in 1842 (see [6] Course N◦2 §2.1) and the Markoff–Lagrange spectrum ([6] Course N◦1...
متن کاملDiophantine Approximation and Coloring
We demonstrate how connections between graph theory and Diophantine approximation can be used in conjunction to give simple and accessible proofs of seemingly difficult results in both subjects.
متن کاملDislocation Defects and Diophantine Approximation
In this paper we consider a Schrödinger eigenvalue problem with a potential consisting of a periodic part together with a compactly supported defect potential. Such problems arise as models in condensed matter to describe color in crystals as well as in engineering to describe optical photonic structures. We are interested in studying the existence of point eigenvalues in gaps in the essential ...
متن کاملHausdorff dimension and Diophantine approximation
In the present survey paper, we explain how the theory of Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff measure is used to answer certain questions in Diophantine approximation. The final section is devoted to a discussion around the Diophantine properties of the points lying in the middle third Cantor set.
متن کاملCard Shuffling and Diophantine Approximation
The “overlapping-cycles shuffle” mixes a deck of n cards by moving either the nth card or the (n − k)th card to the top of the deck, with probability half each. We determine the spectral gap for the location of a single card, which, as a function of k and n, has surprising behavior. For example, suppose k is the closest integer to αn for a fixed real α ∈ (0, 1). Then for rational α the spectral...
