Abstract

For λ(1/2,1)\lambda \in (1/2, 1) and α\alpha, we consider sets of numbers xx such that for infinitely many nn, xx is 2αn2^{-\alpha n}-close to some i=1nωiλi\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i, where ωi{0,1}\omega_i \in \{0,1\}. These sets are in Falconer's intersection classes for Hausdorff dimension ss for some ss such that 1αlogλlog2s1α- \frac{1}{\alpha} \frac{\log \lambda}{\log 2} \leq s \leq \frac{1}{\alpha}. We show that for almost all λ(1/2,2/3)\lambda \in (1/2, 2/3), the upper bound of ss is optimal, but for a countable infinity of values of λ\lambda the lower bound is the best possible result.
