Abstract

Let β>1\beta>1 be a real number and define the β\beta-transformation on [0,1][0,1] by Tβ:xβxmod1T_\beta:x\mapsto \beta x\bmod 1. Further, define W_y(T_{\beta},\Psi):=\{x\in [0, 1]:|T_\beta^nx-y|<\Psi(n) \mbox{ for infinitely many $n$}\} and W(T_{\beta},\Psi):=\{(x, y)\in [0, 1]^2:|T_\beta^nx-y|<\Psi(n) \mbox{ for infinitely many $n$}\}, where Ψ:NR>0\Psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}_{>0} is a positive function such that Ψ(n)0\Psi(n)\to 0 as nn\to \infty. In this paper, we show that each of the above sets obeys a Jarn\'ik-type dichotomy, that is, the generalised Hausdorff measure is either zero or full depending upon the convergence or divergence of a certain series. This work completes the metrical theory of these sets.
