Abstract.   We investigate some Diophantine approximation constants related to the simultaneous approximation of (ζ,ζ2, ...,ζk) for Liouville numbers ζ. For a certain class of Liouville numbers including the famous representative n≥ 1 10-n! and numbers in the Cantor set, we explicitly determine all approximation constants simultaneously for all k≥ 1.

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.   11J13, 11J25, 11J82.

Key words and phrases.   Geometry of numbers, successive minima, Liouville numbers, Diophantine approximation.
