Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\in (1,2)$ be a real number. For a function $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, define $W_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9})$ to be the set of $x\in \mathbb{R}$ such that for infinitely many $n\in \mathbb{N},$ there exists a sequence $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}_{i})_{i=1}^{n}\in \{0,1\}^{n}$ satisfying $0\leq x-\sum _{i=1}^{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}_{i}/\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}^{i})\leq \unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}(n)$. In Baker [Approximation properties of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}$-expansions. Acta Arith. 168 (2015), 269–287], the author conjectured that for Lebesgue almost every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\in (1,2)$, the condition $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }2^{n}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}(n)=\infty$ implies that $W_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9})$ is of full Lebesgue measure within $[0,1/(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}-1)]$. In this paper we make a significant step towards proving this conjecture. We prove that given a sequence of positive real numbers $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty }$ satisfying $\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{n}=\infty$, for Lebesgue almost every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\in (1.497,\ldots ,2)$, the set $W_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{n}\cdot 2^{-n})$ is of full Lebesgue measure within $[0,1/(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}-1)]$. We also study the case where $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }2^{n}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}(n)<\infty$ in which the set $W_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9})$ has Lebesgue measure zero. Applying the mass transference principle developed by Beresnevich and Velani in [A mass transference principle and the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture for Hausdorff measures. Ann. of Math. (2) 164(3) (2006), 971–992], we obtain some results on the Hausdorff dimension and the Hausdorff measure of $W_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9})$.

AbstractWe generalise the mass transference principle established by Beresnevich and Velani to limsup sets generated by rectangles. More precisely, let {xn}n⩾1 be a sequence of points in the unit cube [0, 1]d with d ⩾ 1 and {rn}n⩾1 a sequence of positive numbers tending to zero. Under the assumption of full Lebesgue measure theoretical statement of the set \begin{equation*}\big\{x\in [0,1]^d: x\in B(x_n,r_n), \ {{\rm for}\, {\rm infinitely}\, {\rm many}}\ n\in \mathbb{N}\big\},\end{equation*} we determine the lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff measure of the set \begin{equation*}\big\{x\in [0,1]^d: x\in B^{a}(x_n,r_n), \ {{\rm for}\, {\rm infinitely}\, {\rm many}}\ n\in \mathbb{N}\big\},\end{equation*} where a = (a1, . . ., ad) with 1 ⩽ a1 ⩽ a2 ⩽ . . . ⩽ ad and Ba(x, r) denotes a rectangle with center x and side-length (ra1, ra2,. . .,rad). When a1 = a2 = . . . = ad, the result is included in the setting considered by Beresnevich and Velani.

Fix an alphabet $A=\{0,1,\ldots ,M\}$ with $M\in \mathbb{N}$ . The univoque set $\mathscr{U}$ of bases $q\in (1,M+1)$ in which the number $1$ has a unique expansion over the alphabet $A$ has been well studied. It has Lebesgue measure zero but Hausdorff dimension one. This paper describes how the points in the set $\mathscr{U}$ are distributed over the interval $(1,M+1)$ by determining the limit $$\begin{eqnarray}f(q):=\lim _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}\rightarrow 0}\dim _{\text{H}}(\mathscr{U}\cap (q-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF},q+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}))\end{eqnarray}$$ for all $q\in (1,M+1)$ . We show in particular that $f(q)>0$ if and only if $q\in \overline{\mathscr{U}}\backslash \mathscr{C}$ , where $\mathscr{C}$ is an uncountable set of Hausdorff dimension zero, and $f$ is continuous at those (and only those) points where it vanishes. Furthermore, we introduce a countable family of pairwise disjoint subsets of $\mathscr{U}$ called relative bifurcation sets, and use them to give an explicit expression for the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection of $\mathscr{U}$ with any interval, answering a question of Kalle et al [On the bifurcation set of unique expansions. Acta Arith. 188 (2019), 367–399]. Finally, the methods developed in this paper are used to give a complete answer to a question of the first author [On univoque and strongly univoque sets. Adv. Math.308 (2017), 575–598] on strongly univoque sets.

Let [Formula: see text] be a non-negative function such that [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text]. The well-known Jarník–Besicovtich theorem concerns the Hausdorff dimension of the set of [Formula: see text]- approximable numbers. In this paper, we give an alternative but short proof of the Jarník–Besicovitch theorem for approximating functions with no monotonicity. The main tool is the appropriate usage of the mass transference principle of Beresnevich–Velani [A mass transference principle and the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture for Hausdorff measures, Ann. of Math. (2) 164(3) (2006) 971–992].

AbstractWe study the distribution of the orbits of real numbers under the beta-transformation$T_{{\it\beta}}$for any${\it\beta}>1$. More precisely, for any real number${\it\beta}>1$and a positive function${\it\varphi}:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}$, we determine the Lebesgue measure and the Hausdorff dimension of the following set:$$\begin{eqnarray}E(T_{{\it\beta}},{\it\varphi})=\{(x,y)\in [0,1]\times [0,1]:|T_{{\it\beta}}^{n}x-y|<{\it\varphi}(n)\text{ for infinitely many }n\in \mathbb{N}\}.\end{eqnarray}$$

Let R, μ and Mμ denote the set of real numbers, Lebesgue outer measure and the class of Lebesgue measurable subsets of R respectively. It is easy to prove that the complement Ec of E ∈ Mμ is a set of Lebesgue measure zero if the inequality holds for some δ > 0 and all intervals I of R. However, in Hewitt [1], raised a problem whether the result is still true if E is not a priori measurable set. In this paper, a negative answer to this question is given through a counter-example. Also, it is proved that for a given set E ∈ M,μ with μ(E) > 0 there is a non-measurable subset A of E satisfying μ(E)

How many fractals exist in nature or the virtual world? In this paper, we partially answer the second question using Mandelbrot’s fundamental definition of fractals and their quantities of the Hausdorff dimension and Lebesgue measure. We prove the existence of aleph-two of virtual fractals with a Hausdorff dimension of a bi-variate function of them and the given Lebesgue measure. The question remains unanswered for other fractal dimensions.

There are various methods of finding the square roots of positive real number. This paper deals with finding the principle square root of positive real numbers by using Lagrange’s and Newton’s interpolation method. The interpolation method is the process of finding the values of unknown quantity (y) between two known quantities.

AbstractA central problem motivated by Diophantine approximation is to determine the size properties of subsets of$\R^d$ ($d\in\N$)of the formwhere ‖⋅‖ denotes an arbitrary norm,Ia denumerable set, (xi,ri)i∈ Ia family of elements of$\R^d\$× (0, ∞) and ϕ a nonnegative nondecreasing function defined on [0, ∞). We show that ifFId, where Id denotes the identity function, has full Lebesgue measure in a given nonempty open subsetVof$\R^d\$, the setFϕbelongs to a class Gh(V) of sets with large intersection inVwith respect to a given gauge functionh. We establish that this class is closed under countable intersections and that each of its members has infinite Hausdorffg-measure for every gauge functiongwhich increases faster thanhnear zero. In particular, this yields a sufficient condition on a gauge functiongsuch that a given countable intersection of sets of the formFϕhas infinite Hausdorffg-measure. In addition, we supply several applications of our results to Diophantine approximation. For any nonincreasing sequenceψof positive real numbers converging to zero, we investigate the size and large intersection properties of the sets of all points that areψ-approximable by rationals, by rationals with restricted numerator and denominator and by real algebraic numbers. This enables us to refine the analogs of Jarník's theorem for these sets. We also study the approximation of zero by values of integer polynomials and deduce several new results concerning Mahler's and Koksma's classifications of real transcendental numbers.

For any A ⊂ R, the Banach game B(A) is the following infinite game on reals: Players I and II alternately play positive real numbers a1; a2, a3, a4,… such that for n > 1, an < an−1. Player I wins iff ai exists and is in A.This type of game was introduced by Banach in 1935 in the Scottish Book [15], Problem 43. The (rather vague) problem which Banach posed was to characterize those sets A for which I (II) has a winning strategy in B(A). (There are three parts to Problem 43. In the first, Mazur defined a game G**(A) for every set A ⊂ R and conjectured that II has a winning strategy in G**(A) iff A is meager and I has a winning strategy in G**(A) iff A is comeager in some neighborhood; this conjecture was proved by Banach. Presumably Banach had this result in mind when he asked the question about B(A), and hoped for a similar type of characterization.) Incidentally, Problem 43 of the Scottish Book appears to be the first time infinite games of any sort were studied by mathematicians.This paper will not provide the reader with any answer to Banach's question. I know of no nontrivial way to characterize when player I (or II) wins, and I suspect there is none. This paper is concerned with a different (also rather vague) question: For which sets A is the Banach game B(A) determined? To say that B(A) is determined means, of course, that one of the players has a winning strategy for B(A).
