Show moreThe main concern of this thesis is the number of the solutions $N_F(m)$ of Decomposable form inequalities $F(x) \leq m$. In 2001, Thunder proved a conjecture of W.M. Schmidt, stating that, under suitable finiteness conditions, one has $N_F(m) \ll m^{n/d}$ where the implicit constant depends only on $n$ and $d$. The results in this thesis extend Thunder__s various results on Decomposable form inequalities to the p-adic setting (See Chapters 2, 4 and 5). In Chapter 3, we also show the effectivity of the condition under which the number of solutions of p-adic decomposable form inequalities is finite. Show less

Show moreIs there a good continued fraction approximation between every two bad ones? What is the entropy of the natural extension for alpha-Rosen fractions? How do you find multi-dimensional continued fractions with a guaranteed quality in polynomial time? These, and many more, questions are answered in this thesis. Show less
