Özet

We improve the lower bound for the classical exponent of approximation w(n)* connected to Wirsing's famous problem on approximation to real numbers by algebraic numbers of degree at most n. Our bound exceeds n/root 3 approximate to 0.5773n and thus provides a considerable qualitative improvement to previous bounds of order n/2 + O(1). We further establish new relations between several classical exponents of approximation.
