Popis: We prove that for every positive integer d and for all θ ∈ {0, 1/2}d − 1, there is at least one real number x such that where ⟨u⟩ is the distance from u to the set of integers. The bound 1/2 − 1/d is best possible and is necessary for θ = (1/2, …, 1/2). Consequently, the angular Kronecker constant of {1, … , d − 1} is bounded below by 1/2 − 1/d. We also exhibit a minimal (finite) set of points x such that given θ ∈ {0, 1/2}d − 1, there is some x in the set such that max n⟨θn − nx⟩ ≤ 1/2 − 1/d.
