| Sep 2, 2014 at 12:51 | comment | added | Dominic van der Zypen | Sorry - I really got my $|\cdot|$ signs wrong. What I intended is the inequality $|\frac{m}{n} - (u'+v')| < |\frac{m}{n} - (u+v)|$. The goal is to approximate $\frac{m}{n}$ as good as it gets by a sum or difference of unit fractions, so I want to minimize $|\frac{m}{n} - (u+v)|$ where $u,v\in U$. | |
