Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

Creator:

Dietel, Brian Christopher

Abstract:

If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...
