We prove that the Littlewood conjecture is satisfied for a restricted class of pairs (α,β) of badly approximable numbers. We use the localization of the roots of a cubic equation with coefficients depending on the diophantine properties for the considered pair (α,β). The estimates of the roots rely on the properties of the denominators of the convergents of the continued fraction expansion of α and β.
