Diophantine approximation is traditionally the study of how well real numbers are approximated by rationals. We propose a model for studying Diophantine approximation in an arbitrary totally bounded metric space where the rationals are…
In this paper, we investigate inhomogeneous and simultaneous Diophantine approximation in beta dynamical systems. For $\beta>1$ let $T_{\beta}$ be the $\beta$-transformation on $[0,1]$. We determine the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff…
We prove a metrical result on a family of conjectures related to the Littlewood conjecture, namely the original Littlewood conjecture, the mixed Littlewood conjecture of de Mathan and Teuli\'e and a hybrid between a conjecture of Cassels…
Weird numbers are abundant numbers that are not pseudoperfect. Since their introduction, the existence of odd weird numbers has been an open problem. In this work, we describe our computational effort to search for odd weird numbers, which…
We comment on recent results in the field of information based complexity, which state (in a number of different settings), that approximation of infinitely differentiable functions is intractable and suffers from the curse of…
Under a reasonable decay assumption on the approximating function, we establish a zero-full law for the Hausdorff measure of sets of inhomogeneous Dirichlet non-improvable affine forms with weights, thereby answering a question posed by Kim…
The set of real numbers which are badly approximable by rationals admits an exhaustion by sets Bad($\epsilon$), whose dimension converges to 1 as $\epsilon$ goes to zero. D. Hensley computed the asymptotic for the dimension up to the first…
A univariate polynomial f over a field is decomposable if it is the composition f = g(h) of two polynomials g and h whose degree is at least 2. We determine the dimension (over an algebraically closed field) of the set of decomposables, and…
A real number is called left-computable if there exists a computable increasing sequence of rational numbers converging to it. In this article we are investigating a proper subset of the left-computable numbers. We say that a real number…
The study of finite approximations of probability measures has a long history. In (Xu and Berger, 2017), the authors focus on constrained finite approximations and, in particular, uniform ones in dimension $d=1$. The present paper gives an…
The famous theorem of R.Aumann and M.Maschler states that the sequence of values of an N-stage zero-sum game G_N with incomplete information on one side converges as N tends to infinity, and the error term is bounded by a constant divided…
The Hausdorff $\delta$-dimension game was introduced by Das, Fishman, Simmons and {Urba{\'n}ski} and shown to characterize sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ having Hausdorff dimension $\leq \delta$. We introduce a variation of this game which also…
James Maynard has taken the analytic number theory world by storm in the last decade, proving several important and surprising theorems, resolving questions that had seemed far out of reach. He is perhaps best known for his work on small…
This paper considers an optimization problem for a dynamical system whose evolution depends on a collection of binary decision variables. We develop scalable approximation algorithms with provable suboptimality bounds to provide…
A famous conjecture of Littlewood (c. 1930) concerns approximating two real numbers by rationals of the same denominator, multiplying the errors. In a lesser-known paper, Wang and Yu (1981) established an asymptotic formula for the number…
We compute the Hausdorff dimension of sets of very well approximable vectors on rational quadrics. We use ubiquitous systems and the geometry of locally symmetric spaces. As a byproduct we obtain the Hausdorff dimension of the set of rays…
Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…
An approach is given for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of the univoque set of a self-similar set. This sometimes allows us to get the exact Hausdorff dimensions of the univoque sets.
We fill a gap in the study of the Hausdorff dimension of the set of exact approximation order considered by Fregoli [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 152 (2024), no. 8, 3177--3182].
We investigate some topics related to the celebrated Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff Theorem: a non-convergence result and prolongation issues. Given a Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$ with identity $I$, and given $X,Y\in \mathcal{A}$, we study the…
