Abstract: | This paper proves three theorems concerning the simultaneous approximation of numbers from a totally real algebraic number field. It is shown that for two given numbers 1 and 2 from a totally real algebraic number field, the constant 12 can be explicitly calculated, this being the upper limit of the numbers c12 such that the inequality max ( q 1 , q 2 ) (qc12)–1/2 holds for infinitely many natural numbers q; likewise for the constant a12 such that the inequality q 1 · q 2 < a12(qlogq) holds for infinitely many natural numbers q. It is shown that there exist n –1 numbers 1, ..., n–1 in an algebraic number field of degree n and discriminant d such that the inequality
holds only for finitely many natural numbers q if
