On approximation measures of $q$-exponential function

Abstract

We shall present effective approximations measures for certain infinite products related to $q$-exponential function. There are two main targets. First we shall prove an explicit irrationality measure result for the values of $q$-exponential function at rational points. Then, if we restrict the approximations to rational numbers of the shape $d^s/N$, we may replace Bundschuh's irrationality exponent $7/3$ by $2+\frac{1}{3+2\sqrt{3}}=\mathrm{2.1547...}$.
