In his Topics in Number Theory, vol. 2, chapter 2 (Reading, Mass., 1956) W. J. LeVeque proved an important generalisation of Roth's theorem (K. F. Roth, Mathematika 2,1955, 1—20).

Let ξ be a fixed algebraic number, σ a positive constant, and K an algebraic number field of degree n. For κ∈K denote by κ(1), …, κ(n) the conjugates of κ relative to K, by h(κ) the smallest positive integer such that the polynomial has rational integral coefficients, and by q(κ) the quantity
