Abstract
Let be a sequence of integers with for all . For any real number , it can be expanded into the following infinite series: which is called the Cantor series expansion of . We introduce the exact spproximation order in Cantor series expansions. It is analogous to the notion appearing in classical Diophantine approximation. More precisely, let denote the -th partial sum of the Cantor series expansion of . For any monotonic function , we study the metric theory of the set of points that are exactly -approximable by .
