The irrationality measure of $\pi$ is at most $7.103205334137\dots$

Doron Zeilberger and Wadim Zudilin

Vol. 9 (2020), No. 4, 407–419
Abstract

We use a variant of Salikhov’s ingenious proof that the irrationality measure of π is at most 7.606308 to prove that, in fact, it is at most 7.103205334137 .

In memory of Naum Il'ich Feldman (1918–1994)
