Abstract

Let α\alpha be an irrational real number. We show that the set of ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable numbers Badε(α):={x[0,1]:lim infqqqαxε} \mathrm{Bad}^\varepsilon (\alpha) := \{x\in [0,1]\, : \, \liminf_{|q| \to \infty} |q| \cdot \| q\alpha -x \| \geq \varepsilon \} has full Hausdorff dimension for some positive ϵ\epsilon if and only if α\alpha is singular on average. The condition is equivalent to the average 1ki=1,,klogai\frac{1}{k} \sum_{i=1, \cdots, k} \log a_i of the logarithms of the partial quotients aia_i of α\alpha going to infinity with kk. We also consider one-sided approximation, obtain a stronger result when aia_i tends to infinity, and establish a partial result in higher dimensions.
