Abstract

AbstractLet $\alpha $ be a totally positive algebraic integer of degree d, with conjugates $\alpha _1=\alpha , \alpha _2, \ldots , \alpha _d$ . The absolute $S_k$ -measure of $\alpha $ is defined by $s_k(\alpha )= d^{-1} \sum _{i=1}^{d}\alpha _i^k$ . We compute the lower bounds $\upsilon _k$ of $s_k(\alpha )$ for each integer in the range $2\leq k \leq 15$ and give a conjecture on the results for integers $k>15$ . Then we derive the lower bounds of $s_k(\alpha )$ for all real numbers $k>2$ . Our computation is based on an improvement in the application of the LLL algorithm and analysis of the polynomials in the explicit auxiliary functions.
