Let p be a prime number. For a positive integer n and a p-adic number ξ, let λn(ξ) denote the supremum of the real numbers λ such that there are arbitrarily large positive integers q such that ‖qξ‖p,‖qξ2p,…,‖qξnp are all less than q−λ−1. Here, ‖xp denotes the infimum of |x−n|p as n runs through the integers. We study the set of values taken by the function λn.
