Abstract: Let ||·|| denote the distance to the nearest integer and, for a prime number p, let |·|_p denote the p-adic absolute value. In 2004, de Mathan and Teulié asked whether infq?1q⋅||qx||⋅|q|p=0 holds for every badly approximable real number x and every prime number p. When x is quadratic, the equality holds and moreover, de Mathan and Teullié proved that liminfq?1q⋅log(q)⋅||qx||⋅|q|p is finite and asked whether this limit is positive. We give a new proof of de Mathan and Teullié's result by exploring the continued fraction expansion of the multiplication of x by p with the help of a recent work of Aka and Shapira. We will also discuss the positivity of the limit.
