The sets of Dirichlet non-improvable numbers vs well-approximable numbers
Abstract
Let be a non-decreasing function, the '{th} partial quotient of and the denominator of the '{th} convergent. The set of -Dirichlet non-improvable numbers \begin{equation*} G(\Psi ):=\Big\{x\in \lbrack 0,1):a_{n}(x)a_{n+1}(x)\,>\,\Psi \big(q_{n}(x) \big)\ \mathrm{for\ infinitely\ many}\ n\in \mathbb{N}\Big\}, \end{equation*} is related with the classical set of -approximable numbers in the sense that . Both of these sets enjoy the same -dimensional Hausdorff measure criterion for . We prove that the set is uncountable by proving that its Hausdorff dimension is the same as that for the sets and . This gives an affirmative answer to a question raised by Hussain-Kleinbock-Wadleigh-Wang (2018).
