Abstract

We prove a new result about the mutual behavior of irrationality measure functions ψαj(t)ψ_{α_j}(t) for nn different real numbers αj,j=1,...nα_j,\, j =1,...n.

Audit summary

Audited against arXiv v2

Not a correctness certificate. A “Correct” result may include yellow typos or minor formal corrections that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

The criteria and constructions for best approximations to nn real numbers are correct. Several denominator labels in the case analysis are local notation slips.

Theorems 1–3Correct

The simultaneous and dual best-approximation criteria have the stated form

Pages 2–13 · Theorems 1–3 and their proofs · arXiv:2108.08778v2

The convex-body minima translate bounded approximation constants into bounded ratios of successive best-approximation scales, and conversely. The recursive denominator construction separates each prescribed competitor and realizes the announced behavior.

Case analysisMinor formal corrections · no status impact

Three denominator labels and one count require local correction

Pages 4–11 · proofs of Theorems 1–3 · arXiv:2108.08778v2

The second case of Theorem 1 must count 1+(W11)/21+\lceil(W_1-1)/2\rceil admissible points. In Theorem 3, the prose swaps the two discontinuity denominators before returning to the correct common denominators. In the construction, the comparison in (32) is between the current common denominator and the two successive tt-indices; restoring those labels gives the displayed inequality.

Theorem 2Correct

The construction realizes the sharp order of the permutation bound

Pages 2 and 8–13 · Theorem 2 and Section 6 · arXiv:2108.08778v2

The prescribed interlacing sequence tjt_j determines continued fractions for the individual numbers and for each paired auxiliary number. The asymptotic denominator identities order all irrationality-measure functions into exactly the announced cyclic permutations. The special case k=3k=3 and the general index pattern satisfy the same inequalities, so the construction gives n=k(k+1)/2n=k(k+1)/2 numbers with only kk eventual permutations.

02Proofs1 reported findingCorrect

The geometric-minima arguments and realizing construction are complete after the denominator and counting labels are corrected.

Proofs of Theorems 1–3Correct and complete after the stated repairs

The corrected counts and denominator ordering close each case

Pages 3–13 · main proofs · arXiv:2108.08778v2

The corrected ceiling count restores the claimed lower bound without changing its constant order. The common-denominator comparisons in the construction strictly order the next approximation errors, which is the only property needed in the induction.

Recommended production method

Authenticate with ORCID, then require an exact arXiv match

MathAudit should accept the identity only when ORCID OAuth authenticates the claimant's iD and this exact arXiv paper appears in arXiv's public authority feed for that iD. A matching name alone is not sufficient.

ORCID OAuth and arXiv authority-record lookup are not connected in this local prototype.

Email fallback for papers without a linked ORCID

A production fallback could send a one-time link only when the submitted address matches an independently maintained author-contact allowlist for this paper. MathAudit must return the same message for every address so the form cannot reveal which contacts are on that list.

This demonstration does not send, store, or compare the address.

Structured response preview

This form remains unavailable until production identity verification succeeds. Nothing entered here is submitted.

This panel never establishes authorship in the local prototype. A production result should be described narrowly as an authenticated ORCID match or control of a separately allowlisted author-contact mailbox.
