Abstract

Let QNQ \subseteq \mathbb{N} be a subset, and let ψ ⁣:N[0,12)\psi\colon \mathbb{N} \to [0, \tfrac{1}{2}), θ ⁣:NR\theta\colon \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R} be functions. Let {Aq}\{A_q\} and {Bq}\{B_q\} be sequences of integers such that gcd(Aq,Bq)=1\gcd(A_q, B_q) = 1 and Bq>0B_q > 0 for all qq. Define WQ(ψ,θ)W_Q^{\ast}(\psi,\theta) to be the set of x[0,1]x \in [0,1] for which xp+θ(q)q<ψ(q)q \left| x - \frac{p + \theta(q)}{q} \right| < \frac{\psi(q)}{q} holds for infinitely many (p,q)Z×Q(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z} \times Q with gcd(Bqp+Aq,q)=1\gcd(B_q p + A_q, q) = 1. In this paper, we determine the Fourier dimension of WQ(ψ,θ)W_Q^{\ast}(\psi,\theta). Our result not only recovers the classical theorems of Kaufman and Bluhm (concerning the homogeneous case ψ(q)=qτ\psi(q) = q^{-\tau} with τ1\tau \ge 1) and the one-dimensional version of a result by Cai and Hambrook on the inhomogeneous approximable set, but also provides a complete inhomogeneous generalization. Moreover, it gives an affirmative answer to the coprime formulation of the Chen--Xiong conjecture.
