We define the notion of a best Diophantine approximation vector to a set of linear forms. This generalizes definitions of a best approximation vector to a single linear form and of a best simultaneous Diophantine approximation vector. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an infinite set of best Diophantine approximation vectors. Finally, we prove that such approximation vectors are spaced far apart in an appropriate sense.
