Approximation by Several Rationals

Igor E. Shparlinski

Published 2007-07-23Version 1

Following T. H. Chan, we consider the problem of approximation of a given rational fraction a/q by sums of several rational fractions a_1/q_1, ..., a_n/q_n with smaller denominators. We show that in the special cases of n=3 and n=4 and certain admissible ranges for the denominators q_1,..., q_n, one can improve a result of T. H. Chan by using a different approach.
