Russian Mathematics volume 63, pages 61–66 (2019)Cite this article

Abstract

We investigate the arithmetic properties of the value arctan \(\frac{1}{3}\). We elaborate special integral construction with the property of symmetry for evaluating irrationality measure of this number. We research linear form, generated by this integral, and prove a new result for extent of the irrationality of arctan \(\frac{1}{3}\), which improves the previous one.
