Proof of a determinant evaluation conjectured by Bombieri,
Hunt
and van der Poorten
(49 pages)
Abstract.
A determinant evaluation is proven, a special case of which establishes a
conjecture of Bombieri,
Hunt,
and
van der Poorten
(Experimental
Math. 4 (1995), 87-96) that arose in the
study of Thue's method of approximating algebraic numbers.
