Abstract

Let b3b \geq 3 be an integer and C(b,D)C(b,D) be the set of real numbers in [0,1][0,1] whose base bb expansion only consists of digits in a set D{0,...,b1}D \subseteq \{0,...,b-1\}. We study how close can numbers in C(b,D)C(b,D) be approximated by rational numbers with denominators being powers of some integer tt and obtain a zero-full law for its Hausdorff measure in several circumstances. When bb and tt are multiplicatively dependent, our results correct an error of Levesley, Salp and Velani (Math. Ann., 338:97-118, 2007) and generalize their theorem. When bb and tt are multiplicatively independent but have the same prime divisors, we obtain a partial result on the Hausdorff measure and bounds for the Hausdorff dimension, which are close to the multiplicatively dependent case. Based on these results, several conjectures are proposed.
