Why we get inequality form an equation?

In the paper linear forms in the logarithms of real algebraic numbers close to 1, it is written on page 5 that-



$varLambda leq frac1by^n$ (see equation 7 on page 5)



But we get it from an equation. As I understand , it should be $varLambda = frac1by^n$.



How $varLambda$ could be less than $frac1by^n$?



If it is $varLambda leq frac1by^n$ then why not $varLambda geq frac1by^n$?

          $$a=b$$ implies both $$ale b$$ and $$age b.$$



          It's the author's choice to weaken the comparison for the requirements of the exposition.




          Quiz:



          Are these propositions true ? ($land$ is and, $lor$ is or)



          • $a=bimplies ale bland age b$ ?


          • $a=bimplies ale blor age b$ ?


          • $a=bimplies a< blor a=blor a> b$ ?


          • $a=bimplies a< bland a=bland a> b$ ?

          From $$tag6(b+1)x^n-by^n=1$$ we find after dividing by $by^n$
          $$left(1+frac1bright)left(frac xyright)^n-1=frac1by^n.$$
          This certainly implies (as long as $b,y>0$) that also
          $$left|left(1+frac1bright)left(frac xyright)^n-1right|le frac1by^n.$$

          • If you don't mind I will ask the same question again as it is yet to be clear to me! Are you saying $$left|left(1+frac1bright)left(frac xyright)^n-1right|geq frac1by^n.$$ is not possible? Do you disagree with Daoust's answer above?
