In 1955, Roth established that if is an irrational number such that there are a positive real number and infinitely many rational numbers with and , then is transcendental. A few years later, Cugiani obtained the same conclusion with replaced by a function that decreases very slowly to zero, provided that the sequence of rational solutions to is sufficiently dense, in a suitable sense. We give an alternative, and much simpler, proof of Cugiani’s Theorem and extend it to simultaneous approximation.
