Northcott's property for the rational logarithmic height #

The logarithmic height of a rational number is the logarithm of the maximum of the absolute value of its normalized numerator and its positive denominator. Consequently, a height bound places the numerator and denominator in finite integer intervals. This file records that elementary rational specialization of Northcott's theorem.

The rational numbers of logarithmic height at most B form a finite set.

The usual logarithmic height on has Northcott's property.
