A number a is called badly approximable if j a-p/q | > c/q2 for some c > 0 and all rationals pjq. It is known that an irrational number a is badly approximable if and only if the partial denominators in its continued fraction are bounded [4, Theorem 23]. In a recent paper [7] I proved results of the following type: // fuf2,•■• are differenliable functions whose derivatives are continuous and vanish nowhere, then there are continuum-many numbers a such that all the numbers fi(a),f2(a), ••• are badly approximable. Let 0 which assigns to every Be£l a nonempty set >(B) <= Í2 such that for C e &(B), «(C) c a(B).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
