May 12, 2011 at 0:41 comment added Felipe Voloch @Oleg But he seems to want $N$ to be the same as $n$, which is related to the degree of $\alpha$ and so hidden in the ineffective constants in Roth's theorem and conjectural generalizations.
May 12, 2011 at 0:28 comment added Oleg Eroshkin Roth's theorem gives bound for $|q\alpha-p|$. This is the linear polynomial. Vanvu need such bounds for polynomials of degree $d$. Conjecturally for algebraic number $\alpha$ and $\epsilon>0$ there are only finitely many polynomials $P$ of degree $d$ with integer coefficients of absolute values at most $N$ with $0<|P(\alpha)|<N^{-d-1-\epsilon}$.
May 12, 2011 at 0:16 comment added Fedor Petrov @Oleg: I am afraid that Roth's theorem wors for any specific polynomial, while $n$ does change...
May 12, 2011 at 0:09 comment added Oleg Eroshkin This is Liouville's inequality. For $d=1$, Roth's theorem gives required bounds. The generalization of Roth theorem for polynomials of higher degree is open. I doubt that the special case of $\alpha$ is significantly easier.
