In this paper, we study the metric theory of dyadic approximation in the middle-third Cantor set. This theory complements earlier work of Levesley, Salp, and Velani (2007), who investigated the problem of approximation in the Cantor set by…
This paper examines the possibilities of extending Cantor's two arguments on the uncountable nature of the set of real numbers to one of its proper denumerable subsets: the set of rational numbers. The paper proves that, unless certain…
A reasonably complete theory of the approximation of an irrational by rational fractions whose numerators and denominators lie in prescribed arithmetic progressions is developed in this paper. Results are both, on the one hand, from a…
We propose a reinterpretation of the continuum grounded in the stratified structure of definability rather than classical cardinality. In this framework, a real number is not an abstract point on the number line, but an object expressible…
By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In…
About fifty years ago Mahler proved that if $\alpha>1$ is rational but not an integer and if $0<l<1$ then the fractional part of $\alpha^n$ is $>l^n$ apart from a finite set of integers $n$ depending on $\alpha$ and $l$. Answering…
Let $K$ denote the middle third Cantor set and ${\cal A}:= \{3^n : n = 0,1,2, >... \} $. Given a real, positive function $\psi$ let $ W_{\cal A}(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ in the unit interval for which there exist infinitely…
Let $\mathscr{M}$ be a compact submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^{M}$. In this article we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points within a given distance to $\mathscr{M}$ and with bounded denominators under the assumption…
We investigate how non-zero rational multiplication and rational addition affect normality with respect to $Q$-Cantor series expansions. In particular, we show that there exists a $Q$ such that the set of real numbers which are $Q$-normal…
We consider the problem of approaching real numbers with rational numbers with prime denominator and with a single numerator allowed for each denominator. We obtain basic results, both probabilistic and deterministic, draw connections to…
In this article, for a large class of rational self-similar IFS's wich contains the middle-third Cantor set, we compute the Hausdorff dimension of elements a self-similar set that are $\psi$-approximable by rational belonging to this set…
In [14,26], new approximation classes of self-referential functions are introduced as fractal versions of the classes of polynomials and rational functions. As a sequel, in the present article, we define a new approximation class consisting…
We study some number theory problems related to the harmonic analysis (Fourier bases) of the Cantor set introduced by Jorgensen and Pedersen in \cite{JP98}.
We explore Mahler numbers originating from functions $f(z)$ that satisfy the functional equation $f(z) = (A(z)f(z^d) + C(z))/B(z)$. A procedure to compute the irrationality exponents of such numbers is developed using continued fractions…
We continue our investigation of the fractal uncertainty principle (FUP) for random fractal sets. In the prequel (arXiv:2107.08276), we considered the Cantor sets in the discrete setting with alphabets randomly chosen from a base of digits…
The purpose of this paper is to study the fractal phenomena in large data sets and the associated questions of dimension reduction. We examine situations where the classical Principal Component Analysis is not effective in identifying the…
If $\alpha$ is a non-zero algebraic number, we let $m(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $\mathbb Z$. A series of articles by Dubickas and Smyth, and later by the author, develop a modified version…
For $m\ge 2$, consider $K$ the $m$-fold Cartesian product of the limit set of an IFS of two affine maps with rational coefficients. If the contraction rates of the IFS are reciprocals of integers, and $K$ does not degenerate to singleton,…
The point-to-set principle of J. Lutz and N. Lutz (2018) has recently enabled the theory of computing to be used to answer open questions about fractal geometry in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^n$. These are classical questions, meaning that…
For any $0 < \alpha <1$, we construct Cantor sets on the parabola of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$ such that they are Salem sets and each associated measure $\nu$ satisfies the estimate $\|{\widehat{f d\nu}}\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)} \leq C_p…
