On denseness of certain direction and generalized direction sets

Abstract

Direction sets, recently introduced by Leonetti and Sanna, are generalization of ratio sets of subsets of positive integers. In this article, we generalize the notion of direction sets and define {\it kk-generalized direction sets} and {\it distinct kk-generalized direction sets} for subsets of positive integers. We prove a necessary condition for a subset of Sk1:={x[0,1]k:x=1}\mathcal{S}^{k - 1} := \{\underline{x} \in [0,1]^{k} : ||\underline{x}|| = 1\} to be realized as the set of accumulation points of a distinct kk-generalized direction set. We provide sufficient conditions for some particular subsets of positive integers so that the corresponding kk-generalized direction sets are dense in Sk1\mathcal{S}^{k - 1}. We also consider the denseness properties of certain direction sets and give a partial answer to a question posed by Leonetti and Sanna. Finally we consider a similar question in the framework of an algebraic number field.
