These results are very close to the best possible using this method. We are able to obtain these results by determining very precise arithmetic information about the denominators of the coefficients of these hypergeometric functions. Improved bounds for $\\theta(k,l;x)$ and $\\psi(k,l;x)$ for $k=1,3,4,6$ are also presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-02-09T14:32:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11J68", "33C05" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic numbers", "rational approximations", "hypergeometric functions", "precise arithmetic information", "effective irrationality measures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0802.1266V" } } }
