Let $\Psi :[1,\infty )\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}$ be a non-decreasing function, $a_{n}(x)$ the $n$'{th} partial quotient of $x$ and $q_{n}(x)$ the denominator of the $n$'{th} convergent. The set of $\Psi $-Dirichlet non-improvable numbers…

In this paper we prove an upper bound on the "size" of the set of multiplicatively $\psi$-approximable points in $\mathbb R^d$ for $d>1$ in terms of $f$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. This upper bound exactly complements the known lower…

Let $\cal C$ be a non--degenerate planar curve and for a real, positive decreasing function $\psi$ let $\cal C(\psi)$ denote the set of simultaneously $\psi$--approximable points lying on $\cal C$. We show that $\cal C$ is of Khintchine…

The L\"uroth expansion of a real number $x\in (0,1]$ is the series \[ x= \frac{1}{d_1} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2(d_2-1)d_3} + \cdots, \] with $d_j\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}$ for all $j\in\mathbb{N}$. Given $m\in…

Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…

Let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be a monotonically non-increasing function, and let $\psi_v:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be defined by $\psi_v(q)=1/q^v$. In this article, we consider self-similar sets whose iterated…

Given an increasing integer sequence $(a_n)$, a real number $\alpha$, and a sequence $\psi(n)$, we study the set $W$ of real numbers $\gamma$ for which $a_n\alpha - \gamma$ is a distance less than $\psi(n)$ away from an integer. This is…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $Q \subset X$ be countable. Given functions $R: Q \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+$, we consider the set $E(Q, R, \phi)$ of points $x \in X$ that ``hit'' the…

We develop the inhomogeneous counterpart to some key aspects of the story of the Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture (1941). Specifically, we construct counterexamples to a number of candidates for a sans-monotonicity version of Szusz's…

A Hausdorff measure version of W.M. Schmidt's inhomogeneous, linear forms theorem in metric number theory is established. The key ingredient is a `slicing' technique motivated by a standard result in geometric measure theory. In short,…

Let $\psi$ be a continuous decreasing function defined on all large positive real numbers. We say that a real $m\times n$ matrix $A$ is $\psi$-Dirichlet if for every sufficiently large real number $t$ one can find $\boldsymbol{p} \in…

For a real analytic periodic function $\phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$, an integer $b\ge 2$ and $\lambda\in (1/b,1)$, we prove the following dichotomy for the Weierstrass-type function $W(x)=\sum\limits_{n\ge 0}{{\lambda}^n\phi(b^nx)}$:…

A fundamental challenge within the metric theory of continued fractions involves quantifying sets of real numbers, when represented using continued fractions, exhibit partial quotients that grow at specific rates. For any positive function…

The Jarn\'ik-Besicovitch theorem is a fundamental result in metric number theory which concerns the Hausdorff dimension for certain limsup sets. We discuss the analogous problem for liminf sets. Consider an infinite sequence of positive…

Let $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,1/2]$ be given. The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, recently resolved by Koukoulopoulos and Maynard, asserts that for almost all reals $\alpha$ there are infinitely many coprime solutions $(p,q)$ to the inequality…

Falconer proved that there are sets $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ of Hausdorff dimension $n/2$ whose distance sets $\{|x-y| : x,y\in E\}$ are null with respect to Lebesgue measure. This led to the conjecture that distance sets have positive…
