Diophantine approximations with a constant right-hand side of inequalities on short intervals. 1

Abstract

The problem of finding the Lebesgue measure 𝛍 of the set B1 of the coverings of the solutions of the inequality, ⎸Px⎹ <Q−w, w>n , Q ∈ N and Q >1, in integer polynomials P (x) of degree, which doesn’t exceed n and the height H (P) ≤ Q , is one of the main problems in the metric theory of the Diophantine approximation. We have obtained a new bound 𝛍B1 <c(n)Q−w+n, n<w<n+1, that is the most powerful to date. Even an ineffective version of this bound allowed V. G. Sprindzuk to solve Mahler’s famous problem.
