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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-07-23T12:42:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "approximation", "rational fraction a/q", "smaller denominators", "special cases" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0707.3371S" } } }
