We use $\alpha$-Rosen fractions to give a Haas-Series-typeresult about all possible good approximations for the $\alpha$ for which the Legendre constant is larger than the Hurwitz constant. %K Rosen fractions %K natural extensions %K approximation quality %U http://www.boku.ac.at/MATH/udt/vol05/no2/2KraSme10-2.pdf
