Extract

Let unity and the irrational components ri of a d-dimensional vector r be linearly independent, and consider the integers n for which

where {x} denotes the fractional part of x. It is a trivial restriction to assume that ri and φi lie between 0 and 1. This note is concerned with the question: what are the gaps between the successive n?
