Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two infinite subsets of positive integers and $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a positive function. We completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of all…
Let $\alpha$ be an irrational real number. We show that the set of $\epsilon$-badly approximable numbers \[ \mathrm{Bad}^\varepsilon (\alpha) := \{x\in [0,1]\, : \, \liminf_{|q| \to \infty} |q| \cdot \| q\alpha -x \| \geq \varepsilon \} \]…
We introduce a new exponent of simultaneous rational approximation $\widehat{\lambda}_{\min}(\xi,\eta)$ for pairs of real numbers $\xi,\eta$, in complement to the classical exponents $\lambda(\xi,\eta)$ of best approximation, and…
We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…
Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer and $\xi$ a transcendental real number. We establish several new relations between the values at $\xi$ of the exponents of Diophantine approximation $w_n, w_{n}^{\ast}, \hat{w}_{n}$, and $\hat{w}_{n}^{\ast}$.…
In this paper, we improve the results in the author's previous paper \cite{Usu22}, which deals with the quantitative problem on Littlewood's conjecture. We show that, for any $0<\gamma<1$, any $(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2$ except on a set…
For any $\beta>1$, let $T_\beta$ be the classical $\beta$-transformations. Fix $x_0\in[0,1]$ and a nonnegative real number $\hat{v}$, we compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of real numbers $x\in[0,1]$ with the property that, for…
We prove that almost all real numbers (with respect to Lebesgue measure) are approximated by the convergents of their $\beta$-expansions with the exponential order $\beta^{-n}$. Moreover, the Hausdorff dimensions of sets of the real numbers…
For regular continued fraction, if a real number $x$ and its rational approximation $p/q$ satisfying $|x-p/q|<1/q^2$, then, after deleting the last integer of the partial quotients of $p/q$, the sequence of the remaining partial quotients…
In his seminal 1961 paper, Wirsing studied how well a given transcendental real number $\xi$ can be approximated by algebraic numbers $\alpha$ of degree at most $n$ for a given positive integer $n$, in terms of the so-called naive height…
We prove that for any real polynomial $f(x) \in\mathbb{R} [x]$ the set $$ \{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}: \liminf_{n\to \infty} n\log n ||\alpha f(n)|| >0\} $$ has positive Hausdorff dimension. Here $||\xi ||$ means the distance from $\xi $ to the…
Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…

For a complex number $x$, $\Vert x\Vert:=\min\{|x-m|:m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer, and $K$ be a number field. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be algebraic numbers with $|\alpha_i|\geq 1$ and let $d_i$ denotes the degree of…
For a nonincreasing function $\psi$, let $\textrm{Exact}(\psi)$ be the set of complex numbers that are approximable by complex rational numbers to order $\psi$ but to no better order. In this paper, we obtain the Hausdorff dimension and…
We study how well a real number can be approximated by sums of two or more rational numbers with denominators up to a certain size.
It is a classical result of Mahler that for any rational number $\alpha$ > 1 which is not an integer and any real 0 < c < 1, the set of positive integers n such that $\alpha$ n < c n is necessarily finite. Here for any real x, x denotes the…
For a fixed $\theta^2=1/m$, $m \in \mathbb{N}_+$, let $x \in [0, \theta)$ and $[a_1(x) \theta, a_2(x) \theta, \ldots]$ be the $\theta$-expansion of $x$. Our first goal is to extend for $\theta$-expansions the results of Jarnik \cite{J-1928}…
It is known that, for each real number x such that 1,x,x^2 are linearly independent over Q, the uniform exponent of simultaneous approximation to (1,x,x^2) by rational numbers is at most (sqrt{5}-1)/2 (approximately 0.618) and that this…
The theory of uniform approximation of real numbers motivates the study of products of consecutive partial quotients in regular continued fractions. For any non-decreasing positive function $\varphi:\mathbb{N}\to [2,\infty)$, we determine…
