Abstract
In 1969, H. Davenport and W. M. Schmidt studied the problem of approximation to a real number ξ by algebraic integers of degree at most 3. They did so, using geometry of numbers, by resorting to the dual problem of finding simultaneous approximations to ξ and ξ2 by rational numbers with the same denominator. In this paper, we show that their measure of approximation for the dual problem is optimal and that it is realized for a countable set of real numbers ξ. We give several properties of these numbers including measures of approximation by rational numbers, by quadratic real numbers and by algebraic integers of degree at most 3. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 11J04 (primary), 11J13, 11J82 (secondary).
