Abstract
We simplify and improve the constant that appears in effective irrationality measures,
obtained from the hypergeometric method for near . The dependence of on in our result is best possible (as is the dependence on in many cases). For some applications, the dependence of this constant on becomes important. We also establish some new inequalities for hypergeometric functions that are useful in other diophantine settings.
