Extract

Marshall Hall has proved that every real number is representable as the sum of two continued fractions with partial quotients at most 4. This implies that for any real β1, β2 there exists a real α such that

for all integers x > 0 and y, where C is a positive constant. In this note I prove a generalization to r numbers β2, …, βr. The case r = 2 implies a result similar to Marshall Hall's but with a larger number (71) in place of 4.
